Quick!! Dumplings recipe??

[Ronni]

I have this delicious stew that Ron made, and we wanted to heat it up tonight and have dumplings with it. He LOVES dumplings!!

I don’t make them well. They’re really rubbery, or they fall apart, or are just doughy -tasting even though they've been cooked all the way through.

Recipes? Secrets? Tips and tricks?

We don't make dumplings at work. An easy fix if you like biscuits and are better at that...You could have those with stew.

I only made dumplings once. They were a disaster. LOL

Canned biscuits such as Pillsbury (not the ones in layers) cut into 3 or 4 pieces will work.

Ronni. I haven't made dumplings in ages... decades in fact, but when I have a chance I'll go through my old recipes and see if I can find my moms old dumpling recipe.

Check out allrecipes dot com. The ingredients are simple. It’s absolutely essential that you don’t lift the lid until the end time.

Bisquick and a little milk in a separate bowl, stir until it reaches consistently of mashed potatoes,
Drop by spoonfuls into pan on top of stew.
Low heat!
Glass lid so you can watch but DON'T lift the lid... until they're fluffy and ready.

For two people I would use a pouch of Bisquick.

Drop spoonfuls of prepared dough onto the bubbling stew, cover, and let simmer gently for 15 minutes without peeking.

You could also top a casserole of stew with the biscuits and bake in the oven until everything is hot and bubbly.

Try sweet dumplings with fresh blueberries or apple chunks simmered with sugar and cornstarch, or canned peaches in heavy syrup. Top the dumplings with a little sugar-cinnamon mixture before you put the top on the pan.

Unlike every recipe that tells you to put suet or fat into dumplings I absolutely never do, I find that by doing that they turn into hard bullets.. and slimy...

I still cook dumplings ( dough boys)..exactly the same way as my mother did... and it couldn't be more simple..

I can't give you measurements because I don't measure when making dumplings

Sieve some self raising flour.. probably around 8 ounces for 2 people... ( must sieve it to get air in ).. add a pinch of salt and any herbs that you like at this stage.. ( I just use mixed herbs).. but you can leave herbs out if you wish...

Make a well in the centre, and drible cold water slowly into the bowl a tiny little at a time using flat bladed knife to bring the flour together... being very careful not to make the dough wet (this will make it heavy)... once it's a dry and slightly tacky ball ...very lightly handle it with floured hands and cut it into the sizes you wish.. usually the size of a golf ball, and add them to the stew with a lid tightly on and the heat on low ... then under NO circumstances lift the lid for 15 minutes

This method with give you big fluffy Dumplings.. and literlally takes minutes to prepare

@Ronni

How did your dumplings turn out?

Whenever I need a recipe, I head to PINTEREST! Sometimes I'll print out 2 or 3 and use the best of all of them to make my own. So far, has worked really well!

Dumplings are too time consuming and I end up with flour everywhere. I buy potato gnocchi now and use that in soups.
