Combine flour, salt,and baking powder mix well .
Then cut in cold butter with fork until mixture seperates and crumbly .
Beat 2 eggs in seperate bowl ,then mix into flour mixture lightly.

Hey Sherri!  :)

I found low-carb dumplings don't hold up well when combined with hot liquid (like soup).
The problem is that it's the starch (the source of the high net carbs) in flour that causes them to "stick" together and not break up.

Maybe there is a thickener out there (like guar gum) that would do the job.
I have not tried any as yet.

Hi beebs!  :)

It's a lot easier than advanced linear algebra!  ;)
Which was one of the many math classes I took at the university many moons ago.

Math is the language of logic.
Being a former math major in college, logic should come naturally for you.

Simply approach recipes using logic.

Consider the desired end result (the goal or solution).
Examine the ingredients (the parts or factors).
Execute the step-by-step preparation execution (the execution of the solution).

It just hit me! Someone posted about using some ingredient in their brownies that made them rubbery. I wonder if that will help to make dumplings?

Has anyone ever frozen these?  I usually make several batches of one thing and freeze it for later.

I made these tonight and added oregano and garlic powder. They are great! I'll measure the salt next time, though, as they are a little too salty. BUT, they are still delicious!

I'm making these right now!!! I am soooo excited! Bless you for posting this! I am becoming good friends with the search tool :) I found them by accident. When I'm sick, all I want for an upset stomach is bread...and you just saved my appetite and my tummy and my carbs :) of course, mine are 1.6 carbs because I use an egg replacer that is kinda high in carbs, but this is awesome, thanks so much! I will let you know how these turned out for me :)

I did make them and they are SOOOO GOOD!  ;D I ate three  :-X  they tasted so good to my tummy and my mouth! Thank you! Mine are 1.6 carbs...but that's okay, they are great. I really thank you for posting this, I've been craving bread and nothing has come close to satisfying my southern biscuit craving except for this! Now I'm going to do some searching for cabbage soup for dinner :) to go with my biscuits, because I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten my last one of the day just yet! My appetite has come back 3fold the past couple days!
