These fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth Newfoundland DoughBoys are the perfect addition to any stew, bringing comfort and nostalgia to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons (8g) of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Cut in 4 tablespoons (56g) of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add 3/4 cup (180ml) of milk, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Bring your stew to a gentle boil. Make sure there’s enough liquid in the pot so the DoughBoys can steam properly.
  5. Using a spoon, scoop out portions of dough and drop them into the boiling stew. They should be about the size of a golf ball.
  6. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. This is key! The steam needs to stay trapped for the DoughBoys to puff up.
  7. Cook for 10–15 minutes without lifting the lid. Resist the urge to peek.
  8. After 15 minutes, check one DoughBoy by cutting it open. It should be fluffy and fully cooked inside. If needed, cover and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately, nestled atop your stew.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense dumplings.’, ‘Keep the lid on while cooking to ensure the DoughBoys steam properly.’, ‘Make sure your stew has enough liquid for the DoughBoys to steam.’, ‘Experiment with flavors by adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough.’]
