Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the filling, combine the ground beef, bacon, gherkins, onion, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well by hand or with a spoon and season with the salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. To make the dumplings, make an egg wash, lightly beating the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- 3. In a bowl, ( I used my food processor) - mix the flour and 1 cup boiling water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly flour surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth. If using food processor kneading time will be decreased.
- 4. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a roll 12 inches long and cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices.
- 5. Roll 1 slice of dough into a 3- 4 inch circle and place 1 teaspoon of meat mixture on one sid of the circle. Add a piece of cheese.
- 6. Using a pasty brush - brush the edges of each dumpling with egg wash. Fold the unfilled side over to create a half moon. I used a fork to press and seal the edges.
- 7. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's almost smoking. Using a spatula, gently transfer 4 or 5 dumplings to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- 8. Transfer the dumplings to the baking sheet and bake them for 5 minutes. Serve warm with favorite sauces.

Steps:
- Season rabbits generously with salt and pepper. Just before cooking, dust the rabbits with flour and shake to remove excess.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shortening and bacon and cook, stirring, until shortening has melted and bacon has cooked halfway and rendered much of its fat. Drain the bacon fat from skillet (strain if necessary) and refrigerate until needed (the chilled fat will be used to make the dumplings). You should have about 5 tablespoons of fat. (If you don't quite have 5 tablespoons, you can add lard or vegetable shortening.)
- Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large cast-iron Dutch oven. When the oil is very hot, add the rabbit pieces and cook until evenly browned, using tongs to turn rabbit as necessary. When the rabbit is browned, add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated with fat, then add wine. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Add the sage, thyme, and chicken stock, return to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer (turning the rabbit once or twice for even cooking) until the meat pulls very easily away from the bone, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- While the rabbit braises, prepare the dumplings. Stir together the dry ingredients in a mound on the counter or in a large mixing bowl, then add the chilled bacon fat. Use your fingers to combine dry ingredients with the fat until mixture resembles coarse pebbles. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the water to the well. Use your fingers to work in the liquid and form dough. Knead briefly, just to combine, then shape the mixture into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll dough out very thin (a thin pie dough, a little thicker than fettucine) into a rough square shape. Turn dough over once if it starts to stick. Use a knife to slice the dough into 1 by 4-inch pieces, then set aside.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings and boil 3 to 5 minutes, until tender, and drain. Toss the dumplings with a small amount of oil to keep them from sticking together, then set aside.
- When the rabbit is done cooking, use tongs to transfer it to a baking dish. Strain out braising vegetables and discard, reserving broth. Skim fat from broth and set aside. Using your fingers, separate rabbit meat from bone, feeling carefully for any small bones, and set aside.
- Heat the reserved vegetable fat and vegetable oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, parsnips, poblano, carrots, celery, garlic, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mustard and wine and cook, stirring, until pan is deglazed and most of the wine has evaporated. Add the reserved stock, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the reserved rabbit meat and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
- To finish the dish, add the cooked dumplings, stir together just until warmed through, and serve. If you are not going to serve the entire dish at once, serve dumplings in a bowl and ladle the hot stew over the top, so the dumplings don't overcook and become mushy.
- When chopping poblanos and other chiles, slice them from the inside (rib side) of the pepper for a cleaner cut. If you have to cut through the thicker skin side it's easier for the knife to slip.

Tips:
- Choose the right bacon: Use thick-cut bacon for the best flavor and texture. If you can, find bacon that is smoked over hickory or applewood chips.
- Don't overcook the bacon: You want the bacon to be crispy, but not hard. Cook it until it is browned and slightly caramelized.
- Use a large pot: The dumplings will expand as they cook, so make sure you have a large pot that can accommodate them.
- Don't crowd the pot: Add the dumplings to the pot in batches, so that they have room to cook evenly.
- Simmer the dumplings gently: Don't boil the dumplings, as this will make them tough. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for the recommended amount of time.
- Serve the dumplings hot: Bacon dumplings are best served hot, with your favorite gravy or dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and holiday gatherings.
