Ingredients
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon caster sugar
125ml milk
30g unsalted butter, melted
400g plain flour
500g apples, very finely chopped
melted butter
cinnamon and sugar

Preparation method
1. Beat together eggs, salt and sugar. Mix in milk and 30g melted butter. Add flour and mix into a smooth dough. Fold apples into the dough.

2. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Take two tablespoons of dough and shape a test dumpling. Cook the dumpling in simmering water, if it doesn’t break apart, the dough is ready. If it does break apart, you need to add more flour.

3. Form all dumplings, place into pot with barely simmering water and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from water drain well. Pour some melted butter over dumplings and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

Hearty Veggie Soup

Ingredients
2 onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed and sliced
8-10 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into nice sized pieces
2 carrots, sliced
2 stick celery, sliced
1.4 litre vegetable stock (or half and half, vegetable/beef)
2 tsp mixed herbs
Handful of long-grain rice
6 tbsp cooked lentils or chickpeas (optional)
3 tbsp flour
175 g self-raising flour
75 g vegetable suet
Pinch of salt & pepper
A little water

Preparation method
1. Heat a little oil in a flame-proof casserole or stew pot and gently fry the onions and garlic until just browned.

2. Add the flour and mix well before pouring on the stock, a little at a time, stirring continuously.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer for 10 minutes.

4. In the meantime, make the dumplings by sifting the flour into a bowl and mixing with the suet. Add a little water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a soft dough (don’t let it get sticky). Form the dough into 8 small balls and coat with flour.

5. Drop the dumplings into the stew and continue simmer for another 20-25 minutes until the dumplings are fluffy and soft.

6. Serve with a slice of crusty bread.
