About the recipe
If you ask me, it ain't a stew without good-old, fluffy, doughy dumplings like these!
Recipe From
Ingredients
250g self-raising flour
125g unsalted butter (cold)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
- Put your flour into a mixing bowl. Using a coarse grater, grate your cold butter into the flour. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Using your fingers, gently rub the butter into the flour until it begins to resemble breadcrumbs. Add a splash of cold water to help bind it into a dough.
- Divide the dough into 24 pieces and gently roll each into a round dumpling. The dumplings will suck up quite a bit of moisture so if your stew looks dry, add a cup of boiling water and give it a good stir.
- Place the dumplings on top of your fully cooked stew and press down lightly so that they’re half submerged. Cook in the oven or on the hob over a medium heat with the lid on for 30 minutes.
