Meanwhile:
5. Into two cups of flour, add eggs and mix with fork til all of flour is incorporated into egg mix, start with 3-4 eggs, depending on egg size, another may be needed. dough should be yolk colored. (This mix is doughy, but all flour should be incorporated)
6. Drop by teaspoon full into boiling pot, cover leaving a vent spot and leave for 20 minutes.
*Note:
If using crock pot, put dumplings into soup about 1-1/2 hours before serving.
If you want your soup thicker, mix 1/4 cup cold water into 2 tbl. corn starch, stirring well til smooth and drizzle into boiling water a bit at a time, to desired thickness.
**These dumplings are basicallly noodle dough, and they are something to get your teeth into.
If you would like dumplings softer and fluffier, add 1 tsp baking powder to flour/egg mix.
