  2. Now, to the dumplings – Mix all the dry ingredient (leaving a little flour aside) together, and add water to form a firm dough. Roll into approx. 10 balls and roll lightly in the remaining flour.
  3. Add to the stew (there should be quite a lot of liquid on the top, if not, add a little water) and cook for a further 10-15mins until fluffed up and soft.
