Question

How do you make dumplings with self-rising flour?

Community Answer

Make them the same way you would make Southern drop dumplings, but use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, and omit the baking powder.

Question

What do I do if the dough does not rise?

Community Answer

The dough wouldn't rise since it doesn't have any rising agents such as yeast or baking soda. You only allow it to rest to make the texture better.

Question

I tried boiling but after 30 minutes it still wasn’t cooked inside. What should I do?

Community Answer

Maybe your pan was not hot enough. Try preheating the pan and then add the dumplings.

Question

Can I make drop dumplings without baking powder?

Community Answer

Yes. Use the flour, salt, and water method. This way you omit the baking powder and actually it is easy.
