My grandmother made these chewy dumplings too..She didn't add butter. When you spoon them into the soup, et al...if you dip you spoon into the boiling liquid and then scoop out the dumpling, the dumpling will not stick to the spoon, but will slide off. Keep the lid on the pot, when they are done they will come to the top . We would put them on a plate and slice..add butter and they would be like buns.
