Gluten Free Dumplings (for stew)
These little herb flavoured gluten free dumplings are a delicious addition to casseroles and stews. They take just 10 minutes to make, and then can steam on top of a bubbling stew, either in the oven, on the stove or in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 50 g gluten free flour
- 50 g gluten free oat flour or whole oats blitzed
- ½ teaspoon gluten free baking powder
- 50 g butter cold from the fridge
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- salt and pepper
- 50 ml cold water
Instructions
- Add the flour, oat flour, baking powder and seasoning to a bowl.
- Grate the butter onto the flour. Very lightly mix with a fork. Make sure the butter doesn't get squished, you should be coating the butter in flour, so use a light flicking movement.
- Add the cold water and mix gently to a stiff dough. You might need slightly more or less water as flour can vary. The dough should come together without being too sticky.
- Form into 8 balls with your hands.
- Cook the dumplings on top of a simmering stew with the lid on so that they steam. In the oven they'll take 25 minutes, or an hour in the slow cooker.
Notes
- If you are using whole oats rather than oat flour, blitz them in a blender or food processor until they are powdery.
- If you can find gluten free suet, you could use this instead of butter. But often suet is coated in wheat flour, so do check.
- For dairy free gluten free dumplings, use a vegan block or solid vegetable fat.
- Fresh parsley or chives can be used in place of thyme.
