This is such a great way to add the dumplings to the soup - makes them relatively the same size and is so easy and fun. Pipe them out while cutting off about 1 1/2 inch pieces with your kitchen scissors. I sort of run the bottom blade of the scissors up as I pipe out the dough, which "cuts" the dough and then close the blades together, which snips them off the scissors and then drop into the broth.
