Old fashion dumpling mix

Came across this old dumpling mix recipe i tried it and the dumplings are really nice large and fluffy in fact just like my old mum use to make.

2 Cups plain flour
1 Tbs Baking soda
1 Tsp salt
1 Egg
1 Cup milk

Add to stew and cook for 10 minutes covered then 10 minutes uncovered. Hope you enjoy as i did.

I never make dumplings but shouldn't they have suet in them? Your recipe sounds like " healthier ones"

Re: Old fashion dumpling mix

On the odd occasion i make them i usually add a bit of mustard powder or mixed herbs for flavour. I do enjoy them.

Hi Diane no these one's do not need suet they are really nice do try.

Re: Old fashion dumpling mix

I may well try them. Thanks

Re: Old fashion dumpling mix

I love dumplings but make mine with suet and herbs, they are light and fluffy

Enjoy yours Doc

Re: Old fashion dumpling mix

I make mine with vegetarian suet it makes a much lighter mix I find.

Yes, I like a sprinkling of mixed herbs in mine too, Nom.
I like to cook 'em in the oven, then leave the casserole lid off for a while so they get nice crispy on top. Yummy.
