That's the only type my mother made and only for beef stew. She called
them suet dumplings (guess what they had in them), yet they puffed up and
were light as feather. I wish I had her recipe. But then, I wish I had
a lot of them - I just wish she had recorded them.

Sadly, my mother-in-law was (truly) an atrocious cook. I dare not mention
dumplings to my husband or he turns green.
May she RIP.
