Veggie stew and dumplings

I've finally managed to get my dumpling making right. It was completely accidental of course. When I made this last time I put it in the oven to keep warm while we went for a walk and when I came back there were light fluffy dumplings in the pan not the usual stodgy ones I manage to create. I did the same thing this time, letting the dumplings cook on the hob for about ten minutes and then another 15 in the oven and heavenly dumplings were created. They were even better this time as the suet was not out of date!
