Help! My dumplings look perfect in the boiling water but keep deflating as soon as I take them out and turn into hard rubbery little lumps. What am I doing wrong? My grandma used to make these and can't wait to pour some svickova gravy over them!

Wow, hard to say, sounds like it might be the yeast? Could it haev expired? They should expand greatly in the water if the yeast is good too. If you follow all 3 videos, it should work. good luck!

What's the "liquid"?

[pacadoodle]

water and milk, in equal proportions, or maybe a little more water

I love how Grandmas always estimate their measurements. I miss my Grandma's cooking so much!! She made the best of everything. This video reminds me of cooking with her!!

They do expland greatly in the water, but I can watch them deflate once I take them out. Hmmm. The videos are great, I'll keep practicing. Thank you!
