3 cups water
Dumplings:
¾ cup self-raising flour
2 tablespoons fresh white breadcrumbs
50g butter, melted
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley,

Dumplings: To make dumplings, combine all
ingredients in a bowl; season with salt and
pepper. Add enough water to combine and
shape into 12 balls.

Serve immediately when dumplings are
cooked, as they don’t hold well on the Keep
