Dumplings

I have not had dumplings since by brother had his stroke two years ago. I was getting hungry for them and decided to try and make them. Checked out the internet and his cook books but the recipes did not look right. Called my sister and the recipes were correct. That will teach me to pay closer attention when this stuff is made. My mother and brother both made great dumplings but they are no longer around to ask and to watch them make them.

Had all of the ingredients to make them. They turned out great and now I feel like the thanksgiving turkey all stuffed.

Dumpling making must run in the family.

Job Well Done. They look good.

My oldest daughter for some reason got into making dumplings some time ago. She loved her grandma's that lived out in your area and she makes her recipe. About the only ones I will eat.

That really looks delicious Galvi, lol. And it is indeed a typical British meal, just like scrambled eggs are. The American way of doing scrambled eggs is entirely different tho...

For anyone interested here, who doesn't know the English version of scrambled eggs, here's the method. Really nice! :smile:

Crack 2 eggs into a half a litre/1 pint jug.

Add to the eggs a large dollop of butter, and (optional), a pinch of salt and pepper.

Whisk.

Add to the mixture approx. 2 fluid ounces of milk (semi or full, it doesn't matter, unless one is dieting). Whisk again.

Pop into the microwave, on full. You will need to watch the mixture because it rises and expands considerably. Stir gently and occasionally. It should take roughly around a couple of minutes to cook.

Towards the end of the cooking time (and again this is optional), one can add grated cheese to the mixture, or sliced/diced mushrooms.

Voila! :smile:

I add milk sometimes, but I don't add butter. But it is in the frying pan of course (never used the microwave for eggs). Sometimes instead of salt and pepper, I'll add some garlic salt. I like mushrooms, onions or peppers. Have you ever tried squash in scrambled eggs? Yum! Definitely parmesan on that.

Our Scout Troop camps year round. We have had stew with dumplings cooked over a coals on a cold drizzly Spring Camporee campout more than once. Comfort food. "Gut Putty" as a friend says; fills you up and sticks to your ribs all nice and satisfying:smile:

If she would have listened to me and stayed in the kitchen today I would be having a turkey stew with dumplings tonight. As it is I will end up making hot turkey sandwiches instead. Might have to get some beef stew chunks out tomorrow and make dumplings on top.
