Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs.
Step 2
Pour in the 1/2 cup milk and stir with a fork until just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the boiling water, making about 8 dumplings. Cook until they float to the surface and are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and divide among 2 plates. Top each serving with 1/4 cup sour cream and a sprinkle of extra chopped chives if desired.
