Hints & tips

Helpful Hint

Add in 125 ml grated SPAR cheddar cheese and 10 ml dry mustard powder to the dry ingredients for a variation in flavour. A pork stew would be great with this dumpling recipe flavoured with grated peeled apple and a dash of ground cloves, instead of the mixed herbs and braai spice.

Step 4

Spoon tablespoons of the mixture, gently and close to each other, on top of the rapidly simmering cooked stew. Cook for 15 minutes, with he pot lid on all the time, without lifting to check!
