Keto Dumplings with CarbQuick

Note: I use the term Keto to designate recipes that can fit into most ketogenic diets. There are so many variations of how folks define "keto" for their personal way of eating. So, I list all my ingredients and net carb count so that folks can make their own decisions.
Dusting Mix: This is a mixture I make ahead to have ready for low carb baking and cooking. It is 4 parts CarbQuick to 1 part Vital Wheat Gluten, blended in a food processor until it is smooth. I make it 2 or 3 cups at a time and keep it in a sealed container.

2 Large Eggs - 1.2 net grams
1 Tablespoon Water
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
Up to 1/4 Cup Dusting Mix - 2 net grams
Total Net Carbs - 13.2
Makes 4 generous servings - 3.4 net grams of carbs per serving.

Debbie I do appreciate your “real cooking” adapted for keto. Thanks

[@twistedfoxes7557]

These all look so good

[@bonniekaye]

Looks ~SO~ good!!

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

My friend called her dumplings slicks. Debi you are educating people on low carb living and eating.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Thank you. I am learning as I go, too.

[@tyrandyb4103]

Oh my gosh, they look like my dumplins. I am going to try this. Thank you!

[@mcomeslast]

This helps so much. I’m running some carbquick through the food processor now. You have inspired me to play with some ratios. I have King Arthur keto flour but will need to make my own. I have a feeling I’m going to like a little bit of everything to get it like real flour. About to try this for a couple biscuits.

[@marywhite8517]

Maybe saying something is keto will draw some kind of response, it's like a cult with rules, but saying it's low carb is reasonably correct. Love your lowcarb recipies. You are a treasure.😃

[@sherylldupuis6323]

Love yr recipe .. where I come from we call those sliders. I miss those so much on keto. But. I ordered 2 boxes of carb quick so I am all set. Had to subscribe to your channel to try all your amazing recipes. Cant wait. Mmmm. TFS. ❤️🇨🇦

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Hope you enjoy

[@aerialnight6907]

This recipe was great! I think I over stir it a bit so some of the dumplings broke up a little bit and I also think the dumplings were done cooking more by the five or six minute mark because they were kind of soft. Or perhaps that's just how the carbquick tastes. Anyways everybody loved it! One batch was plenty enough for a large pot. Served five people and still have leftovers. I didn't make a roux or anything didn't need it.

[@barber0611]

I saw where someone had made a roux with unflavored whey isolate protein powder to replace wheat flour and she said it worked!....and from the video it looked good.....I may try that trick when I make this to thicken the broth

[@leedunda]

I just made keto gumbo and used Carbquick for the roux. It worked perfectly. The recipe came from "The Cajun Chef"

[@jjslg7687]

Debbie, I am so grateful to find this video!! My son loves Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings, and I have wished I could make them keto for him! Do you have any suggestions on how to make a gravy similar to the one they might use in their recipe? Thank you so much!!!

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Not sure if you mean the carb quick recipe or the Cracker Barrel recipe, but for regular white gravy, this is as close as I can get with CarbQuick: Put 1 cup CarbQuick, 1/4 cup gluten in your food processor. Run it a minute. Melt 1/4 cup butter or bacon grease in a skillet. Add 1/3 cup of your mixture. Stir well until it starts to brown, about a minute. Then slowly stir in 2 cups of milk. It may not take all the milk. Stir it in slowly until you have the thickness you want. Salt and pepper.

[@jjslg7687]

@@DebbiesBackPorch Thank you!! I can't wait to try it!

[@janp7660]

This looks good. Sort of looks like noodles. My family made dumplings that were like little drops of biscuit dough. I think I would do these but I'll cut them thinner like a noodle. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@aburkesgrl]

Does it taste like biscuits? We always make biscuit dumplings with can biscuits but can't not that low carb 😑 these look yummy so would love to try these if they do!!!

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Carbquick does not taste exactly like biscuits, but but very close.

[@suzannemusso5639]

Hi Debbie this looks like the real thing, yum. Can t his dough make a pizza crust?

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I don't know, but I don't think so. The consistency is all wrong.

[@cyndimcgrew9127]

Have you ever frozen the uncooked dumplings?

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I have not tried that. They turn out fine frozen in a recipe, though.

[@bevcrabtree6519]

can you cut these into "noodles" and drop them into pasta sauce on stove and cook the same time frame ? and you have low carb spaghetti and noodles !

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I don't know if they will hold together and I haven't tried that. The look of the texture in the video may be deceiving. They are pretty loose.

[@tracyowens4692]

If I wanted to make pasta would I do it the same way?

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

No. Here is one recipe for pasta. It is slightly different if you want to use an extruder, but there is a video for that, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGypoemjcp2msU

[@ritamcguire615]

How long do these simmer for?

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Just a few minutes, until they get solid. Maybe 5.

[@guardshack9606]

Almost like flat noodles. Fettuchini?

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Close. For actual noodles I run it through the pasta roller and I add 1 Tablespoon flour to the original mix. Check out my ravioli video.

[@sin46ned]

I might like it but I like my dumplings to just be dropped in by a spoon and not treated like wide thick noodles. To me this should be called chicken and noodles, and not chicken and dumplings.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I think it might be regional, but these are not noodles. Noodles are thin and delicate. Dumplings are thick and poofy. Many people make them like you do, but many also prefer these. Folks around here don't consider dropped dough to be dumplings, so it may be regional.

[@eilidhaylee9519]

I grew up on chicken and dumplings, rolled out and cut into wide strips, they puff up in the broth, nice and tender. Those drop kind of dumplings I call biscuit dumplings.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I prefer my dumplings rolled out like this, because I grew up on the canned chicken and dumplings that have these types of dumplings. I do drop dumplings occasionally, when I’m in a hurry.
