I don't do dumplings often enough. Or, given the saturated fat content, slightly too often. (2 parts self raising flour, 1 part suet, salt and herbs to taste, just enough water to bring it together. Plonk in the stew/curry and cook in a hot oven for 20mins)
@_thegeoff If you're after _some_ variant of dumplings, then there are ones that are ~fatless (made from wheat dough that might or might not contain an egg and with fillings either from fruit, from meat, or from potatoes and white cheese).
