I have never followed recipes, and enjoy making my own meals from scratch. So no two stews taste the same. Hubby still had some Cajon Chicken Pasta left, and said that he wanted it.
Well I made the Instant Pot full of stew, and dumplings made from scratch. Being in the U.S. I can’t get suet as easily as in England. I just used plain flour, a fair amount of baking powder, a stick of margarine rubbed into the flour, a pinch of salt, and kept stirring it, adding milk slowly. All the flour needs to be soaked up, but remain a dry ball of dough.
It made 8 huge dumplings. The picture of the pot is after we each had eaten a bowl of it, and hubby had asked for more. I said to him that I bet he was pleased he hadn’t gone for leftovers. He agreed.
Wow, that looks amazing. I need to give that a try.🥰

Cooking from scratch . . . makes you a throwback cook to a generation ago. Kudos for your efforts Susie!

I love making dumplings. Luckily with suet and I use wholemeal flour and often mix in grated cheddar and cook them in a big vegetable soup so it makes a good meal.

These turn out do light and fluffy. That’s why hubby came back for more.
