doughballs

Stew's floating additions

Doughballs are small balls of dough, typically boiled or baked and served as a side dish or in soups and stews.

In British cuisine, they often accompany casseroles.

The term also appears as mild slang for a dull or slow-witted person: Don't be such a doughball.
