In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the butter is pea-sized.
Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 3: Add Dumplings to the Broth
Bring the chicken broth back to a gentle simmer.
Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the simmering broth. Make sure to leave space between the dumplings as they will expand.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings cook for 10–12 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure the dumplings remain fluffy.
Step 4: Serve
Once the dumplings are cooked and tender, ladle the chicken, broth, and dumplings into bowls.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
