    I'm not a fan (I know, boo, hiss) but I think you probably didn't use enough cement.

    My mother says: too much liquid OR cover removed during cooking.

    And my mother would know!

    I make mine like you would make hand made noodles, just a little thicker.
    Eggs, flour, water, salt and herbs.

    I assume you already made the dumplings, but this is the recipe that I use when I make them.

    Ingredients at room temperature:

    2 c. flour
    2 c. milk
    6 eggs
    1 tsp salt

    Mix with whisk. It's OK to leave a few lumps. If you're not going to use right away, keep at room temperature. I like the results better if the batter has sat for awhile. Put about 1/2 tsp. oil in muffin cups (bacon fat IS the best!). Heat pans in 400 F oven until very hot. Fill muffin cups about half full of batter and bake approx. 25 minutes.

    On edit: Halving the recipe works perfectly fine, too.

    But that is for Yorkshire Pudding, not sure if that's the same... If not, would love the recipe for dumplings to try out.

    That's yorkshire pudding silly. I love me some yorkshire! Oh, it's also best to let the batter sit in the fridge overnight.

    I've only made them twice and both times they sucked.

    The most recent was from a Cracker Barrel recipe.

    *2 cups all purpose flour
    *Baking powder... don't remember how much, don't have the recipe with me right now
    * 2 cups and 2 tablespons milk
    * 1 teaspoon salt

    That's the recipe if my memory serves me correctly.
