A dumpling dilemma....
Jump to: Newest in thread
No it's not some weird new sexual antic it is the humble dumpling.
I have pork in cider bubbling away in the slow cooker and really want to make sage dumplings to go with it. But they are soooooo naughty and we are trying to be good.
So fellow fabbers should I dump the dumplings or go for it ?

No way don't do it!!!,never do something that's going to make you feel bad after it's not logical , the pleasure of the dumpling is momentary but the feeling of abstaining from the dumpling will be empowering , if your trying to be good be good.consistency is key . |

"The latest info is that 'they' got it wrong and it is not fat that is the problem it is sugar. So go for the dumplings. "
True , but it's also calories in verses calories out if you eat more then you can expend you store even if it's clean . |

This is a recipe that will give you really tasty, fluffy dumplings.
Its low fat (as you dont add suet) and you can use store cupboard ingredients to make them.
Makes 4 large dumplings or 8 small.
2 cups (mug size) of SELF RAISING flour
2 eggs
salt & pepper
Herbs (optional) I like sage in them
and 2 tablespoons of water.
Put your flour in a bowl. Add dry ingredients. Add eggs and mixed well.
You may already have a dough type consistency and not need to add the water (this depends on the size of your eggs.)
If you still have flour at the bottom of the bowl that hasn't mixed in, add one tablespoon of water at a time until you get a nice, doughy consistency.
If you add a touch too much liquid, add a little flour to get the balance back.
Split the mixture into 4 or 8 then roll into balls and pop them ontop of your stew.
They take 30 mins to cook in the oven or ontop of the hob. (remember to put a lid on them when on the hob to ensure the top gets cooked too.)
They are very yummy when served with plenty of gravy. xx |

"I'm so out numbered here lol  "
No you're not - I'm with you! Plus OP flour = carbs = starch and sugar = blood sugar spike = fat.
Don't do it.
Self-discipline is empowering! |

"Thank you OP. I was going to make spaghetti and meatballs with the mince at home. It's now going to be mince, dumplings and a big pile of mash. "
Mince and dumplings... Don't like the sound of that. I only ever eat them with beef and beer.... Maybe I'm missing a trick? |

"Butternut squash roasted in the oven with lots of fresh sage leaves is also good. And less calorific than dumplings."
How can you compare a dumpling with a piece of squash?! That's like switching chicken dhabsak with peas |
