Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

150g self-raising flour, plus a little extra
70g suet
small handful of parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Whilst your stew is bubbling, make the dumplings. Weigh the flour into a bowl and add ½ tsp salt. Stir through the suet and parsley, if using. Make a well in the centre and add 3 tbsp cold water, mix to a dough, adding more water until the dough is firm but pliable. Divide into eight equal pieces and roll in a little more flour into balls. Chill until needed.
  • When the stew has about 30 mins to go, arrange the dumplings on top and cover with a lid. With the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3, cook the stew and dumplings for 20 mins, then remove the lid and cook for another 10 mins until they're brown and puffed up.

FLUFFY LITTLE CLOUDS - OLD FASHIONED DUMPLINGS FOR STEW



Fluffy Little Clouds - Old Fashioned Dumplings for Stew image

This is my Mum's traditional dumpling recipe - and they ARE very light & fluffy, hence the recipe name! I never use beef suet, there is very good vegetable suet available now; if you cannot get hold of suet, put a block of butter in the freezer & grate it into the dumpling mixture - it's the little pieces of fat that give the dumplings their "rise"! These are great with added flavours, such as garlic, herbs, seasoning salt, even chilli if you are making them to go with a spicy stew or soup. Drop them into any stews or soups you are making - they are also wonderful baked in the oven, they are still light but have a crusty top. This recipe can be increased with ease - the quantities listed make 8 individual dumplings.

Time 40m

Yield 8 Dumplings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces self raising flour
2 ounces shredded vegetable suet or 2 ounces grated frozen butter
cold water, to mix
salt
pepper
garlic granules (optional)
dried herbs (optional)
onion salt (optional)
oregano (optional)
chili powder (optional)
chopped fresh herb (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the flour, seasonings, & suet in a large mixing bowl, mix thoroughly.
  • (If you are adding herbs or extra seasonings, add them now & mix well.).
  • Add sufficient cold water - bit by bit - to make a pliable dough; it should not be too sticky, but just bound together.
  • Divide the dumpling mixture into 8 portions, and roll into small balls with floured hands.
  • Drop them into your soup, casserole or stew 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, making sure that the soup, stew or casserole is very hot.
  • Put the lid on IMMEDIATELY and do NOT take the lid off until just before the end of the cooking time, about 15-18 minutes to check that they are nearly ready.
  • They should have doubled in size at least, and be very light & fluffy looking!
  • Ladle the soup, stew or casserole into warmed soup bowls & serve 2 dumplings per person.
  • Oven baked: place the dumplings on top of your stew or casserole and cook for about 30 minutes at 200C or 400F, or until well risen, golden brown & crusty.
