FF i add mine to a veg stew i make, with all the root veg, mixed pulses, herbs and tom puree etc and they are really very tasty. Have to agree don't think they'd taste as nice if they were just boiled in water!
My dumplings turned out crappy.

by aerating do you mean whisking it alot?
Yes dobbie - that stops them from coming out like rubber lol!
I see a few of us Brits are thanking whoever for Aunt Bessie!!!
My mum used to make it in a big tin rather than individuals - I loved to get the corner pieces cos they were nice and crispy

Boiling dough in water = pasta, not dumplings. A runnier dough boiled in water makes something like spätzle, which my mom always made with German sausages and seasoned French cut green beans in a kind of bechamel sauce.
If you simmer the dumpling dough in something like chicken or beef stew, and have the dough seasoned with parsley, a touch of onion powder or garlic powder, you will notice a HUGE difference. It's the broth that they are cooked in that makes the difference.

Yes FF give the dumplings another chance - in stew, maybe experiment with flavouring the dough too - with a few mixed herbs maybe - depending what you're going to eat them with - basil, thyme, rosemary, chives perhaps.

IP_Sec,
I use Annies dumplings found in the frozen food section. They are also called Pastry and are flat strips. For chicken and pastry I also use a lot of celery and a cut up onion when I boil the chicken in water and chicken stock. Also a few spices go in to boot along with salt and pepper. A 6 to 7 pound package of chicken thigh's or breast will make plenty of meals for later and it warms up well. Discard the onion, celery and chicken bones or leave just a little celery in the frozen meals for effect later.

Indeed. The ex-JW world is weirder that anyone thought... Who'd have thought it would be so popular ? And as it seems to have digressed onto Yorkshire puddings... I like these yorkshire puddings that cover your whole plate !
