Topic: Mumplings (marmite dumplings)

[chriscross1966]

Did this one round a mates house last night in a big bean and veg stew......

4oz self-raising flour.
2oz vegetable suet
flat teaspoon marmite
1 tablespoon hot water
4 tablespoons cold water

stir flour and suet together, dissolve marmite in hot water, stir into the flour/suet, add cold water one tablespoon at a time, stirring until you have a firm dough. Tear apart into 8-10 equal pieces and roll into balls between your hands (flour your hands first). Drop into simmering soup/stew, put the lid on and leave for 20 minutes to cook.

Better than normal dumplings in a vege stew IMHO.....

I often use herbs in the dumplings I make but have never thought of marmite, and I do love marmite.

I shall certainly try these. Thanks.  ;D

What a good idea and what a brilliant name!
I will definitely try these.

That is a good idea.  I suppose Bovril would work too for non veggies.

I some times do dumplings in the oven so that the top is crispy (cobblers I think they call it) and  we  also like them baked with a smother grated cheddar on top and a shake of worcester sauce for a change.

It is surprising just how many variations of a simple recipe there are.

I use vegetarian suet to make a pastry crust for a Quorn and mushroom pie. 
We always have this pie at family gatherings and the meat-eaters prefer it to meat.

Mmmmm - sounds good!
Beef stew is on the menu today (found some stewing steak lurking in the freezer, goodness knows how long it's been there), so will give them a try.
One upside of all this snow & not going out is that I am using all those "bits" in the freezer.

This is so wrong. Tainting dumplings with the devil's tar.
