This addition really couldn’t be any more simple to make.
First, you will need to sift the flour and baking powder to aerate it and make it more light, this will add to the texture of the dumpling and ultimately make it taste better. Once the flour is sifted you will add the salt and water and mix well.
Be sure to mix the batter very thoroughly in order to avoid any lumps which will make for an unpleasant floury surprise in the middle of the dumpling.
Now, simply add a teaspoon of batter to the stew one at a time and let them boil along with the vegetables, meat, and broth. You will need to add the batter to the stew in the last 15 mins to avoid them overcooking and becoming tough.
These dumplings will add a delicious extra dimension to the stew and make it altogether more delicious!
**Tip**
Think those dumplings sound a little plain? Try adding extra seasoning to the mix before adding the water and you will have a more flavourful dumpling. Why not break with tradition and add some cayenne, chili flakes, or something else with a kick. Or, you can simply add some cracked black pepper and keep it simple. Make this your own recipe for dumplings and share it with your friends.
Enjoy!
