A simple, comforting addition to soups and stews, these organic suet dumplings are perfect for hearty family meals. Using Eversfield Organic Beef Suet gives them a light, fluffy texture and a rich, traditional flavour.
Ingredients (Makes 8 dumplings)
-
300g plain flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
150ml cold water
-
Optional: chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or thyme) for flavour
Method
-
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. -
Incorporate suet
Rub the suet into the flour mixture with your fingers until it’s evenly distributed. -
Add water
Gradually pour in cold water, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Add a little extra water if needed — the dough should hold together but not be sticky. -
Shape dumplings
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. -
Cook dumplings
Gently drop the dumplings into a simmering stew or broth. Cover with a lid and cook for 15–20 minutes, avoiding lifting the lid while they cook so they rise evenly. -
Serve and enjoy
Once cooked, serve the dumplings on top of your favourite stew or soup for a hearty, traditional meal.
Tip: For a spring twist, try adding chopped fresh herbs or a pinch of black pepper to the dough for extra flavour.
These dumplings make the perfect addition to a Sunday roast or family stew, and highlight the rich, natural flavour of high-quality organic suet.
