Bisquick Dumpling Recipe - 100k Recipes (1)

This time, I made chicken soup with veggies and Bisquick dumplings.

The delicious mounds of soft, pillowy dough that melt in your mouth while absorbing the soup’s flavor are really mouthwatering and heartwarming.

They are so easy to make, and they really elevate any soup or stew from a regular to a special meal.

I added parsley to the dough because I love how they taste with it, and they look better than plain dumplings, but you can add any spice you like or none at all. This Bisquick dumpling recipe is as easy as they come!

Ingredients

  • Original Bisquick mix: just as easy as that. Premade mix that works like magic. It has everything you need pre-mixed for you. All you have to do is add the liquid.
  • Milk: We like 2% milk in my house, but you can use whole or skim milk, broth, or non-dairy milk alternative.
  • Parsley. I love the way it tastes, and I think it gives them a nice look.

How To Make Bisquick Dumplings

  1. Have all your ingredients ready for the soup and the dumplings. Make the soup here!
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix Bisquick with milk and parsley until they form a soft dough.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the boiling soup (you can make them as small or as big as you like)
  4. Cook for 10 minutes uncovered, then reduce the heat and cook covered for another 10 minutes.

Pro Tips

  1. Before making the dumpling dough, have your soup or stew already cooked and boiling. They won’t cook properly if it is not hot enough. A soft boil is perfect.
  2. Use a measuring cup for dry ingredients to measure the Bisquick mix and a cup for liquid ingredients to measure the milk. You’d be surprised to learn there’s a difference. The dry ingredient measuring cup measures a precise amount, and you fill it to the top, while the liquid one has measured up to a cup. Liquids accommodate their shape to the container they’re in, but solids tend to be tricky, so you have to add them to the cup and then, use a knife, level them flush to the cup.
  3. The mix doesn’t need salt or pepper but adding herbs makes it taste so much better.
  4. Remember, the dough grows a bit when cooked, so if you want big dumplings, drop a couple of tablespoonfuls of dough, but if you want smaller ones, use one. They will never be all the same shape. Just eyeball it.

Can You Freeze Bisquick Dumplings?

You can. Please wait for your stew or soup to cool down, carefully transfer it to airtight freezer containers and freeze for up to 3 months.

Remember always to label the containers with the date you made the soup so it won’t go past the recommended “consume by” date.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bisquick mix
  • cups of milk (I used 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

Instructions

  • The first thing you have to do is make the soup or stew you are serving the dumplings with. It has to be ready when you start making the dough. These dumplings are very quick to make, so have your soup boiling when you start making the dough.

  • In a medium-sized bowl, measure out the two cups of Bisquick mix, add the milk and parsley.

  • Using a fork or a whisk, mix all three ingredients until a soft dough forms,

  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the boiling soup (soup must be on a soft, not roaring boil). Dumplings will grow, so you can divide the dough into 6 large ones or up to 10 small ones depending on how large you want them.

  • Cook them uncovered for 10 minutes, then reduce heat and cook, covered, for 10 more minutes. Serve while hot!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you use water for Bisquick dumplings?

Yes, you can. They won’t be as soft and pillowy, and they will be a bit blander in taste, but you can. I would replace milk with broth instead to give them a bit more flavor.

  • How do you keep dumplings from falling apart?

Be sure that your soup or stew is boiling. If it’s not hot enough, they will dissolve. Do not over-crowd the pot and if they still keep falling apart, add a bit less liquid next time.

Measurements have to be exact. As I said, use a liquid measuring cup for liquids and a solid measuring cup for the mix.

Some people measure the dumplings onto a plate, leave them to dry out a bit for a couple of minutes, and then drop them into the soup. I think the biggest mistake is made by not having the soup or stew hot enough.

FAQs

Why are my Bisquick dumplings not fluffy? ›

One of the most common reasons is overmixing the dough. Overworking the dough can activate the gluten in the Bisquick mix, making your dumplings tough and chewy. Remember, the dough should be soft and slightly sticky before forming the dumplings. So, it's best to mix the ingredients just until they're combined.

How to make dumplings more juicy? ›

Hand-mincing meat and adding more pork belly results in the juiciest dumplings. Traditionally, some Chinese cuisine uses hand minced meat for their dishes. For example, lots of dim sum items like siu mai, pork buns, beef meatball, and more use hand minced meat to control the texture and fat content of the dish!

Why did my dumplings turn out tough? ›

Overworking the mixture, thus having heavy dumplings is a common mistake people make. Dumplings need very gentle handling, so mix only until the ingredients are just combined, and if your recipe involves rolling them out with extra flour, avoid using too much.

Do you cook dumplings covered or uncovered? ›

The second secret to making really good dumplings is to keep the lid closed while the dumplings cook. With the soup simmering over a low flame and the dumpling dough ready, you'll drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the surface of the simmering broth, then cover the pot with a lid.

How do you keep dumplings from getting mushy? ›

We recommend pan searing as the best way to reheat your dumplings. Not only does it maintain their crispy bottoms, but it also brings out their wonderful flavors.

How do you make dumplings taste better? ›

A pinch of salt seasons the dumplings and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients. Cold butter or margarine is cut into the flour mixture to bind the dry ingredients together. It also keeps the dumplings light and tender. Whole milk helps create a smooth, moist dough.

Why do you put cornstarch in dumplings? ›

Adding cold water to the dumplings to not over boil them too quickly, making sure to get all of the dough thoroughly cooked is a definite pro tip.

Why are my dumplings not light and fluffy? ›

The trickiest part of the dumplings remaining fluffy lies with the cooking time. If the dumplings are cooked for too long, then they will become hard. If they are cooked and allowed to remain in the heated environment – in the hot liquid or covered in the hot pot, then the dumpling will contract and get hard.

Why are my biscuit dumplings mushy? ›

Be sure the liquid is hot before you add the dumpling dough. You can tell if the temperature is hot enough when the liquid is gently boiling with bubbles breaking on the surface. If you add the dough before the liquid is hot enough, the dumplings will end up soggy and undercooked.

What causes dumplings to be chewy? ›

To achieve the desired chewiness, the main ingredient at play is gluten—the protein responsible for creating elasticity in dough. In Northern Chinese dumplings, the predominant use of wheat flour ensures a higher gluten content, imparting a hearty and chewy texture to the wrappers.

Why are my dumplings puffing up? ›

As America's Test Kitchen notes, before you seal the edges of the wrapper together, you're supposed to "press out any extra air." Ignoring this step may cause the potstickers to puff up as they're cooking, which makes them look like small balloons.
