Method
 

  1. Start by bringing your favorite broth to a gentle boil in a large pot.

  3. In another bowl, mix the milk and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Once your broth is boiling, use a spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the dough into the broth.
