Jennifer'S Herb Dumplings

1. 1

   Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

2. 2

   Rub in the butter with your fingers until crumbly.

3. 3

   Mix in pepper, parsley, onion and thyme (or use basil or rosemary, whatever you fancy).

4. 4

   Beat the egg well in a small bowl, and add. Stir in roughly.

5. 5

   Now add just enough milk to make a sticky dough -- not too wet, not dry, just sticky enough to stick to your fingers.

6. 6

   The soup (or meat stew with a lot of sauce) should be simmering. Drop in dessertspoons of the dough, scraping it out of spoon with a finger, into the soup.

7. 7

   Cover the pot. Simmer 20 minutes. By now the dumplings should be cooked.

8. 8

   Take off the lid, and simmer for a further 5 minutes or so, so that the tops of the dumplings dry a little.

9. 9

   Real comfort food on a cold night!
