Prepare the Dumpling Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, suet, freshly chopped parsley, and chives. πΏ
- Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground white pepper. π§
- Gradually add enough beef stock to form a fairly stiff but still elastic dough. The dough should come together and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl.

Shape the Dumplings:
- With your hands, shape the dumpling dough into rounds that are about two bites big. π₯’

Cook the Dumplings:
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the gently boiling beef stock.
- Cover the pan with a lid and allow the dumplings to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. π
- During this time, the dumplings will become light, fluffy, and wonderfully puffed up as they cook in the flavorful broth.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the dumplings are cooked through and beautifully risen, remove them from the stock using a slotted spoon.
- Plate these delightful dumplings alongside your favorite stew or soup, allowing them to soak up all the delicious flavors. π₯£
Tips for Success:
-
Fresh Herbs: For the best flavor, use freshly chopped parsley and chives. They add a vibrant, herbaceous note to the dumplings.
-
Stock Consistency: The dough should be fairly stiff, yet elastic. Adjust the amount of beef stock as needed to achieve the right texture.
-
Simmering Time: Allow the dumplings to simmer gently in the stock, ensuring they have enough time to cook through and puff up beautifully.
-
Pairing Suggestions: These Classic English Suet Dumplings are a delightful addition to beef stew, chicken soup, or any hearty dish where their fluffy texture and savory flavor can shine.
