What is a good recipe for drop dumplings?

The Pioneer Woman, Taste of Home and Betty Crocker all provide good drop dumpling recipes. The recipes by the Pioneer Woman and Taste of Home are both part of a chicken and dumplings recipe. Betty Crocker's recipe offers a quick alternative to from-scratch dumplings.

To make the Pioneer Woman's drop dumplings, sift 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of yellow cornmeal, 1 heaped tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt in a bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups of half and half and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Stir the ingredients together to combine them, and drop the dough by the tablespoon in a simmering pot of water or chicken stock. Cook the drop dumplings by simmering them in a covered pot for approximately 15 minutes.

Alternatively, add 2 cups of flour to a large bowl, and whisk in 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir 1 beaten egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter and 3/4 to 1 cup milk into the dry ingredients to form a stiff batter. Drop the dough into simmering liquid and cook the dumplings until they are tender.

To make quick drop dumplings, combine 2 cups of baking mix such as Bisquick with 2/3 cup of milk to form a soft dough. Drop the dough into boiling liquid, and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered and then another 10 minutes covered.
