suet dumplings

Make the perfect light, fluffy dumplings for your stews and casseroles with only a few ingredients.

Suet Dumplings

all purpose flour

suet

salt

baking powder

Sift the flour into a medium sized bowl. Add the salt and baking powder.

Mix the suet into the flour.

Add 3 tablespoons of cold water.  If the dough is dry, add more water until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Divide the dough into 8 evenly sized pieces and shape into round balls between your palms.

Place the balls on top of a simmering (not boiling) stew for the last 20 minutes of its cooking time laying them on the surface of the liquid about 2 inches apart. Cover the pot with the lid and cook for a further 20 minutes. Remove the lid to be sure the dumplings are well-risen; if not, cook for a few minutes more.

Alternatively, you can steam your dumplings in a steamer placed 2 inches apart for 15 to 20 minutes or until fluffy, tender and cooked through.

Suet dumplings are a British classic - especially served with a rich, gravy-based stew! Here&#039;s how to make perfect suet dumplings.

Traditional British Suet Dumplings

130 g (~ 1 cup) vegetable suet

260 g (~ 2 cups) self-raising flour

herbs

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

tsp garlic granules

250 ml (~ 1 cup) water

Add the vegetable suet and self-raising flour to a large bowl, and add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix to combine. Add the water, and mix with a fork to create a sticky dough.

Dollop the dumpling mixture on top of your favourite stew when it's nearly cooked. Add a lid, and return the stew to the oven for a further 20-25 minutes, until the dumplings are firm. I like to remove the lid for the final 10-15 minutes of cooking time, to help them to crisp up a little.

I added the dumplings to my vegetable soup they were delicious 😋

I made this recipe as instructed. The only change was adding some fresh rosemary from my garden.

I separated into 6 x 100g dumplings and cooked for 5 minutes in my pressure cooker with a lamb stew. They were exceptionally light and fluffy!

That’s the correct British way . To much water makes the stodgy .
