Sweet Corn Dumplings of Delish
I had some leftover sweet corn, so I created this recipe and was pleased with the results. I will make this again.
Sweet Corn Dumplings
1 cup flour
.5 tsp salt
.5 tsp nutmeg
.75 tsp dried thyme
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/3 stick butter
2 eggs, beaten
Approx 1/8 to 1/4 cup milk
Kernels cut from 2 ears cooked sweet corn, slightly crumble
Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter. Stir eggs into mixture. Stir in enough milk to make a batter slightly thicker than pancake batter. Because you will be adding so much corn, you don’t need to worry about over-beating making it tough, especially if you are stirring by hand.
Fold in corn.
Drop by rounded tablespoons into gently simmering stew or soup, cover and cook for about 20 minutes until dumplings are risen and done in the center.
Serves 4 - 6
Variations:
1. This would be good with lemon thyme or some lemon zest.
2. Replace nutmeg with 1 tsp cumin seeds that have been toasted and then ground. Serve with Mexican food.
