Dumplings/ Doughballs

Dumplings/ Doughballs

Ingredients

4 oz. self raising flour
2 oz. suet (either vegetable or regular) I imagine you would be able to make these with
either butter, Crisco or a Cookeen type shortening.
Salt and Pepper
½ onion chopped
1 hand-full of parsley chopped
(you can in fact season with any herb or spice, but this was particularly tasty)
Splash of cold water
Oil or a small knob of the Crisco in each muffin tin cup

Preparation

  • Pre heat oven to 220 deg C.
  • Put a scant ½ teaspoon either oil or the shortening in 6 ordinary sized fairy cake oven tin
  • cups. (not the giant sized American size muffin tins), and put the tin in the oven to heat till
  • the oil is smoking. Just like prep for Yorkshire Puddings
  • Put all ingredients in a bowl, and add in enough of the water to form slightly sticky dough.
  • Put the dough into 6 spaces in the baking tin and straight into the oven, for 15 minutes or
  • till the top is golden.
  • Absolutely delicious.
Cooks Note

One of the Abu Dhabi coffee morning ladies ‘invented’ this recipe, and this week I tried it,
they were really lovely, light and fluffy in the middle and crispy on the top. Somewhere
between a Yorkshire Pudding and a dumpling.
