This is the recipe we grew up with in Cedar Rapids

ingredients

1 cup whole milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour

directions

1
Mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
2
Make a well in the flour mixture and add the milk and beaten eggs.
3
Mix until all the flour is absorbed and you have a moist dough.
4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
5
Add the dough to the water a teaspoon at a time until all the dough is used.
6
Simmer until all the dumplings come to the top and finish cooking, about 5-7 minutes.
7
Drain the water off the dumplings, then add to the drippings of a pork roast.

notes

Make sure your water remains at a rolling boil. Be sure to dip your spoon into the hot water before dipping into dumpling dough to prevents the dough from sticking to the spoon.
