Gradually add water in a thin stream while continuing to stir the mixture with the fork until it thickens.
Knead the dough by hand on a working surface, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Roll out the dough and cut out circles using a glass, cookie cutter, or pastry ring.
Fill and seal the dumplings.
Freeze the dumplings if desired.

Step 4

Cook and Serve

Variations

If you're catering to dietary restrictions or preferences, don't worry! Here are some gluten-free and vegan variations for you:

💡 For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend. Make sure your blend contains xanthan gum or add a teaspoon to get the right texture.

💡 To make this recipe vegan, skip the egg and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) instead. Replace the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.

With these adjustments, everyone can enjoy these delightful dumplings without missing out on any of the flavor!
