In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until well blended.

In a separate bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and let it cool slightly. Add 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently to combine.

Bring your favorite soup to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.

Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough into the bubbling broth, leaving space between each dumpling.

Cover the pot with a tight lid and cook the dumplings for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.

Carefully remove the lid and using a slotted spoon, lift the dumplings out and place them atop servings of your soup.
