Keep on the stirring process from time to time. Let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
- In the meantime, you can make dumplings and save some time. Take a medium size bowl and add the remaining ¾ cup of flour. Also add dill, baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt in that bowl. Now use a fork to gradually stir in ½ cup milk to form a moist and soft batter. Be careful not to make it too thick and it should be just a little thicker than pancake batter.
