Bisquick Dumplings

Here is the exact recipe from the box, just so you know... it's not always printed on the box. Dumplings: Mix 2 cups Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk until soft dough forms. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto stew (do not drop directly into liquid). Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer. Depending on where you live, you may need to add more liquid. The secret is... DO NOT OVER MIX! and let them set for a few minutes, so they rise. My grandmother always made this dumpling recipe for her Chicken 'n Dumplings. My husband "hated" dumplings because they were like eating wet raw dough. These are not doughy. Once he tried these he loves them.
