Directions
- Stir together the warm milk and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the flour, egg, and 1 tsp of salt until well combined then knead the dough in the bowl with your hands for about 5 minutes.
- Loosely cover the dough then set aside to rise for about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into two equal size pieces then form each piece of dough into a log shape roughly 6-inches long and set them aside.
- Bring a large pot of water with 1 tsp salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
- When the water starts boiling carefully lower a dough log into the pot (cook them one at a time, dont overcrowd them because they will expand quite a bit) then cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes take the lid off the pot and flip the dough logs over then cover the pot and continue to simmer for about 10 more minutes.
- Carefully transfer the dumplings to a cutting board then use the tines of a fork to poke holes all over the dumplings to release the steam.
- Allow the dumplings to rest for a few minutes then use thread or a very sharp knife to cut the dumplings into 1/2-inch thick slices.
