CARIBBEAN DUMPLINGS - SPINNERS AND SINKERS
Used in soups and stews. Dumplings have two basic shapes round and flat or rolled and long. The latter shaped dumplings are called spinners. Omit the baking powder and dumplings are then called sinkers because they do not float.

HOMELY OLD-TIME DUMPLINGS
These are the dumplings I make to serve with Recipe #51453. I originally got the recipe from "The Grassroots Cookbook" and have used this many times. These are ugly looking,odd ball shaped flour dumplings but they taste great with the chicken recipe or with a hearty stew ladled on top. I usually serve 2 dumplings per bowl. I usually cook these in boiling water, not broth. Prep time allows for bringing a pot of water to the boil - it only takes about 10 minutes to mix up the batter.

Steps:
- Make sure you have a large pot of water or broth heating up before you begin- you want to have it boiling by the time you are finished mixing the batter.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Grab a fork in one hand, and have your milk in a small pitcher in the other hand.
- Slowly pour the milk into the flour mixture in a steady stream,while tossing very quickly with the fork to combine the ingredients just until they are moistened.
- Press out any big lumps, but the batter should not be perfectly smooth.
- Don't overmix or you'll end up with very pasty dumplings.
- Have a large potful of boiling water (or chicken broth) ready to go.
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the boiling liquid- you should have enough for 8-12 scoops (bearing in mind that they grow a bit while cooking).
- Cover firmly with tight lid and let cook 12 minutes exactly with no peeking under the lid (If your lid isn't very tight, the starchy liquid can seep out the sides).
- Scoop cooked dumplings out of pot using a slotted spoon and serve with stew ladled over them or add to soup.
- They will be large and look like wet,odd shaped balls- they aren't very attractive.
- To test for doneness, poke a drained dumpling with a toothpick- it should come out fairly clean and the middle of the dumpling should be tender but not goopy (you can also cut one in half).

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir the milk into the flour mixture until moistened. Dough will be pretty lumpy, but be sure to not over mix it!
- Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto any boiling stew. The dumplings should rest on top of vegetables and meat; it's okay if they stick out of the top a bit. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes; cover and cook another 10 minutes.

FLUFFY LITTLE CLOUDS - OLD FASHIONED DUMPLINGS FOR STEW
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.

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.
