Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With just a few basic ingredients, these Easy Bisquick Dumplings deliver maximum flavor and texture.
The star of the recipe is Bisquick mix, a pantry staple that simplifies the process of making dough. Its pre-mixed blend of flour, leavening, and fat ensures consistent results, so your dumplings are always light and fluffy.
Milk provides the liquid needed to bring the dough together. While whole milk creates the richest flavor and texture, you can use 2% or even non-dairy milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for a lighter option.
For the base of your dish, you’ll need a soup or stew that's hot and bubbling. The dumplings cook right on top of the liquid, soaking in all those delicious flavors as they steam.
If you want to add a little something extra, try mixing fresh herbs like parsley or chives into the Bisquick mixture. This simple addition enhances the flavor and adds a touch of elegance to the final dish.
No special equipment is needed, just a mixing bowl, spoon, and a pot of soup or stew simmering away.
How To Make This Easy Bisquick Dumplings Recipe

Making these Easy Bisquick Dumplings couldn’t be simpler. Follow these steps for foolproof, fluffy dumplings every time.
Start by preparing your soup or stew base. Whether it’s a chicken and vegetable broth, a beefy stew, or a creamy chowder, ensure it’s hot and simmering on the stove.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of Bisquick mix and ⅔ cup of milk. Stir the mixture gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the dumplings dense.
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough directly onto the simmering soup or stew. Keep the dumplings uniform in size so they cook evenly.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10 minutes. Resist the urge to lift the lid during this time, as the steam is essential for proper cooking.
After 10 minutes, remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 5 minutes. This helps firm up their tops while keeping them fluffy inside.
Serve the dumplings directly from the pot, spooning some of the delicious broth or stew over them for added flavor. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and taste.
Storage Options
If you have leftovers (a rarity with these dumplings!), storing them is simple. Transfer the dumplings and soup or stew to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, consider freezing the soup or stew base without the dumplings, as they can become soggy when thawed. Simply prepare fresh dumplings when you're ready to reheat.
To reheat, warm the soup or stew gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to restore the original consistency.
Variations and Substitutions
This recipe is wonderfully adaptable, so don’t hesitate to make it your own.
- Add a pinch of seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the Bisquick mixture for a flavorful twist.
- Stir in a handful of grated cheese like Parmesan or cheddar to the dough for cheesy dumplings that pair beautifully with tomato-based stews.
- For a herbaceous kick, mix in chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or dill before dropping the dough into the pot.
- If you're avoiding dairy, swap the milk for plant-based alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk. The results are still light and fluffy.
- Want a heartier dumpling? Add a tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil to the mixture for extra richness.
Experimenting with these variations ensures that this recipe never gets old, and you’ll discover new family favorites along the way.
