- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, chives)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs.

Pour in the 1/2 cup milk and stir with a fork until just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the boiling water, making about 8 dumplings. Cook until they float to the surface and are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
