I like plain dumplings - flour, milk, eggs, salt - but they take time to
make. I would like to make a big batch and freeze them, thawing some as
desired. Problem is keeping them separated. Probably not possible but I
thought I'd ask.

I realze I could freeze them in small meal-sized batches but that would be
a pain to do for me - though not for normal people. I'm not fond of cooking
duties, just eating the results.

TIA

Freeze them on a cookie sheet (probably best to put waxed paper
or parchment down first, so they don't stick to the sheet). Once
frozen, throw them in a plastic bag.

If you have a side-by-side refrigerator, well, I feel your pain.
I had one for several years and hated it.

That's what I do - works very well.

I've never tried it but I see no reason not to free raw dumplings
straight after you've mixed the dough and rolled it into little balls.
Spread them out not touching on a baking sheet, freeze, then you can bag
them up and just take out as many as you need. There should be no
problem separating them.

That would also be my suggestion. That's how I freeze blueberries, and
it works very well.
