Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 1/2 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

In a medium bowl beat the eggs and milk together.
Gradually beat in the flour. Beat in enough flour to make a thick but moist batter.
Drop the dumplings into boiling broth by small teaspoons. For larger dumplings have the teaspoons rounded.
Once all of the dumplings bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 15 to 30 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through. Time will vary depending on the size of the dumpling.
For soup add onions, carrots, and celery that have been sauteed and tender. Add pieces of cooked chicken.

Notes

Use enough all-purpose flour to make a batter that is stiff, but still moist.
If you desire you can add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the batter.
Drop dumplings into a boiling broth by small teaspoons. For larger dumplings add by rounded tablespoons.
Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the dumplings.
These dumplings are delicious in chicken broth. Add carrots, celery, and onions that have been sauteed for added flavor. Cooked diced chicken can be added to the soup also.
Reheat leftover soup in the microwave or on the stovetop to the desired temperature.
