Started with Bisquick, maybe?
Seriously, I'd say they dumplings were too soft/wet.
Next time, add more flour mix or less milk.
Also possible, your broth may have been boiling vigorously enough to
beat up the dough before it could set up. Should be a gentle simmer.
Dad always made the dumplings for Mom's beef stew, and he only used
Bisquick. Came out light and floated nicely on the stock.
I make mine from scratch, using a simple baking powder drop-biscuit
recipe, and they're fine.
