Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

In the meantime, bring the broth t a gentle boil, then add the lemon juice. Add half the dumplings, spooning them in one at a time. Cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, place in a soup dish and keep warm while cooking the remaining dumplings. Serve 3 or 4 dumplings in a soup dish and cover with broth for each serving.
