Easy-to-make dumplings
As a change from potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, etc., we often like to have dumplings. A number of recipes I have tried are heavy and sit like lead in the tum but I find this recipe seems to be much lighter.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk (or water if you prefer)
Method:
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together; add liquid and mix to make a batter that can be dropped from a spoon.
- Drop onto boiling stew, being careful there is plenty of liquid.
- Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size of dumplings.
Tips
For a change, I sometimes add some mustard powder, or a good handful of chopped parsley, or both.
Or, for a dessert, and if you like stewed apples or other stewed fruit, make the dumplings leaving out the salt and maybe add a spoonful of sugar.
