I really like dumplings! They help remind me of winter dinners after i would be a child, and my Auntie Peggy who made the very best dumplings imaginable&-though she did use suet in hers. Sadly my mother made the alternative, the most heavy dumplings that sitting just like a rock inside your stomach, or could most likely smash a window. This recipe is loosely according to my Auntie's version&-with no suet. If you want suet dumplings then checkout my suet based dumpling recipe .

Add these dumplings to some hotpot created using a couple of store cupboard ingredients along with a couple of fresh veggies and you've got a fast warming dinner.

This dumpling recipe is much more of the cobbler style topping than traditional rounded dumplings it spreads within the entire pot of stew, but nonetheless increases superbly right into a light fluffy dumpling topping.

Ingredients (Measures: Metric US )

140g [ 1 cup ] fine corn flour/meal

2 tablespoons of [ 2 tablespoons of ] low-fat low fat yogurt (unflavoured unsweetened)

1 teaspoon [ 1 teaspoon ] dried mixed herbs (optional)

1 tablespoons of [ 1 tablespoons of ] baking powder

freshly ground pepper

250ml [ 1 cup ] milk or non-dairy unflavoured unsweetened option to mix (your decision, but avoid nut milks if nut-free needed)

stew or hotpot of preference

Directions

1. Inside a bowl mix the grain flour, corn flour, yogurt, optional herbs, baking powder, and seasoning dry mix to mix ingredients.
2. Add some milk and blend until all of the dry ingredients happen to be incorporated.
3. Lightly drop spoonfuls of mixture onto the top stew or hotpot the dumplings are now being cooked with.
4. Cover and lightly simmer for 25 minutes&-don't open the lid the dumplings will rise to some light puffy covering within the stew.
5. Serve having a part of stew for that perfect winter comfort food.

These dumplings also keep well within the fridge should there be any leftovers&-and who does not love leftovers. I suggest that you simply separate the dumplings in the leftover stew and store them within the fridge inside a different container. When you wish to consume the leftovers simply reheat the dumplings inside a microwave and offered with reheated stew.
