INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n

250g self-raising flour<\/p>

<\/div>\n

125 g butter, really cold or Holsum shortening<\/p>\n

salt and pepper to taste<\/p>

<\/div>\n

METHOD<\/p>\n

Put the flour into a mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

With a grater, grate the cold butter or shortening into the flour.<\/p>\n

Add the salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Gently rub the butter or shortening into the flour until it forms crumbs.<\/p>\n

Add a splash of cold water to help bind it into a dough.<\/p>\n

Divide the dough into 24 pieces and gently roll each into a round dumpling. The dumplings will suck up quite a bit of moisture so if your stew looks dry, add a cup of boiling water and give it a good stir.<\/p>\n

Place the dumplings on top of the fully cooked stew and press down lightly so that they are half submerged into the stew.<\/p>\n

Cook over a medium heat with the lid on for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
