DUMPLINGS FOR STEW-GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED RECIPE
These dumplings were a staple in Grandma's recipe file. She made them for chicken, turkey, and beef stews and soups. These dumplings are basically fluffy biscuits without a crust. They are moist when done and they actually melt in your mouth. I'm also posting her dessert dumplings recipe using stewed fruit. Yummm.....

FLUFFY LITTLE CLOUDS - OLD FASHIONED DUMPLINGS FOR STEW
This is my Mum's traditional dumpling recipe - and they ARE very light & fluffy, hence the recipe name! I never use beef suet, there is very good vegetable suet available now; if you cannot get hold of suet, put a block of butter in the freezer & grate it into the dumpling mixture - it's the little pieces of fat that give the dumplings their "rise"! These are great with added flavours, such as garlic, herbs, seasoning salt, even chilli if you are making them to go with a spicy stew or soup. Drop them into any stews or soups you are making - they are also wonderful baked in the oven, they are still light but have a crusty top. This recipe can be increased with ease - the quantities listed make 8 individual dumplings.

Steps:
- Put the flour, seasonings, & suet in a large mixing bowl, mix thoroughly.
- (If you are adding herbs or extra seasonings, add them now & mix well.).
- Add sufficient cold water - bit by bit - to make a pliable dough; it should not be too sticky, but just bound together.
- Divide the dumpling mixture into 8 portions, and roll into small balls with floured hands.
- Drop them into your soup, casserole or stew 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, making sure that the soup, stew or casserole is very hot.
- Put the lid on IMMEDIATELY and do NOT take the lid off until just before the end of the cooking time, about 15-18 minutes to check that they are nearly ready.
- They should have doubled in size at least, and be very light & fluffy looking!
- Ladle the soup, stew or casserole into warmed soup bowls & serve 2 dumplings per person.
- Oven baked: place the dumplings on top of your stew or casserole and cook for about 30 minutes at 200C or 400F, or until well risen, golden brown & crusty.
DUMPLINGS
My mother was one of the best cooks I ever knew. When she made stews we mostly found dumplings in them. We never ate things from packages or microwaves and you sure could taste what food was. That's the only way I cook today - I don't use any electronic gadgets to cook with except an electric stove.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir the milk into the flour mixture until moistened. Dough will be pretty lumpy, but be sure to not over mix it!
- Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto any boiling stew. The dumplings should rest on top of vegetables and meat; it's okay if they stick out of the top a bit. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes; cover and cook another 10 minutes.

Tips:
- The key to fluffy dumplings is to use cold butter and baking powder. The cold butter will help to create a flaky texture, while the baking powder will help the dumplings to rise.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
- Drop the dumplings into the stew gently to avoid breaking them up.
- Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. The dumplings should be firm to the touch and should float to the top of the stew.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite stew.
