The stew didn't get made the other day............ had it today.

Made more glue balls.

I don't think I'll bother trying again.

I think you will just have to accept that you can't make dumplings like I have had to do with Yoerkshire puddings.

A bit late to this thread, but nevermind. :-D

When people started talking about suet, i rembered when i was a kid, my Grandmother getting suet from butcher in a big lump. She would then chop it herself into small pieces. It was used for spotted dick, apple and steak and kidney pudding, and plain rolls for golden syrup. Good old stodgy food for working people.!

These days the only thing i use suet for (vegetarian) is stuffing. I have made dumplings with suet, both sorts, no problem. :-D :-D

Maybe it's the slow cooker?

I took the glue balls out of the stew, put them in a bowl with a bit of gravy and microwaved them for 1 minute.

They weren't so "gluey" but I didn't like them.

I can make Yorkshire puddings, but I don't like them either.
