Can't stand dumplings - even the sound of the word "SUET" makes me cringe.

 

[Wendy-Norfolk]

A true Norfolk dumpling is made with flour and water - not a trace of suet!

I make yeast dumplings, they're also traditional, and the best!!!

It is bread dough, Sue. Because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to weigh things out, I'll buy a bread kit - white, of course, stick it in the bread maker on a dough setting, when it's ready, knock it out, then decide how many dumplings you want - not forgetting they get considerably bigger when you cook them, and use the rest of the dough for rolls. I generally steam mine, but you can cook them on top of the stew if you like! They are really yummy, not a fatty stodgy texture like suet ones!

Thanks Wendy, I might give that a go then.....ahem, I make my own bread though, not from a kit!!!

Sue - I like you quick thinking reply "SUET" - I did not think of you when I made the posting but 10 out of 10 for your humour - well done

My wife also makes bread using all the rquired ingrediants but then uses a bread maker on a 4 hour setting -the baking smell and the end result to me are the same as when my mother made bread from first principles.
