Step 5 is making the dumplings.

Now, the way I like to do it is to put 2 cups AP flour in a large bowl with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Add milk until you have a large ball of dough, then turn out on to a floured cutting board. Flour your hands, flour the ball, and knead until you have the consistency of pizza dough, adding flour as needed.

Flour your rolling pin and roll the ball to about 1/2", in a rough retangular form. From here I like to just take a pizza cutter and cut 1/2" squares, which will plump up in the pot to 1" delicious pillows.

Put the dumplings into the pot two or three at a time to prevent sticking, and then stir well. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are plump and floating.
