    Tried this recipe today, the recipe was so simple I was certain it would flop. And it did not, what a pleasure. They were better than my moms. And that’s not easy. I loved every bite and my fussy eater son did not care for the stew but wanted the dumpling. Both my husband and daughter had seconds! Thank you for a concise recipe, only thing that was a little confusing is measurements I.e. “t” whether it’s for tsp or tbsp- I was not certain but I figured it was “teaspoon” owing to the volume.
