quick! im having a "dumpling" emergency

[NandaB]

So I'm making this: www.polishthestars.com/2011/11/slow-cooker-chicken-dumplings.html?m=1

I've never made it because I'm not big on creamy goo soup, but it is cold and rainy and sounded good.

So I cut up the biscuits and put them in and tried to stir them in, but they all floated to the top and are poofing up like a slimy dough pillow. Doesn't look terribly appetizing. What can I do? Should I let it cook and then break them up? Try to seperate them now?

I have no experience with this because I also do not like creamy goo soups, but I have to say this does not sound good.

I also don't like dumplings, so take that for what it's worth.

[NandaB]

Lol. Not helpful!

I wanted so badly for it to be good. It smells good, but it looks super gross

[panicked]

That's what they do when you cook them in hot liquid. Sorry! You can try throwing them under the broiler to crisp up a bit, I suppose.

They will separate again once they're done. Just wait.

IME that's what they're s'posed to do. Let those bad boys cook! I'm sure it'll taste great.

No advice. But I read the post title as "blah blah 'dumping' emergency", and seeing that Nanda started it, I was very, very wary to open the post. I mean, late into a pregnancy, I get it. There are definitely "dumping" emergencies to be had. But I'm really glad this is just about soup.

Hahahaha. Gross.. I would have given a warning if it was a post about crapping my pants.

It tasted good. It looked super gross though. The did sorta seperate, but it took some prodding.

I expected some swellage, but it turned into a giant doughy mass! I can't imagine trying to fish them out and broil them. Lol.

I love dumplings but this post is kinda turning me off from them! Ha

[minismama]

I've done that recipe. I found that I had to let the biscuits cook a lot longer then suggested. It did look gross at first but tasted amazing!

I want to know how it was. That sounds good for a cold night!

It tasted good, like it needed carrots and peas and it could have been deconstructed pot pie. Lol. My kids loved it too, which is getting rarer and rarer these days.
