Boiled dumplings (dumplings bouillis)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Work in the softened butter with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
3. Gradually add the lukewarm water while kneading until you have a soft dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
4. Divide the dough into 8 to 10 pieces and roll them into balls or small oblong shapes.
5. Bring salted water to the boil in a pan.
6. Drop the dumplings into the simmering water and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until they rise to the surface and are cooked through.
7. Drain them and serve hot in a soup or as a side dish.
