    Next time try par-boiling the root vegetables - ie boil them for around ten minutes before adding to the pot.

    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Also, please ensure your hands are floured before shaping the dumplings...... it could put you off for life.........

    Hmmm...well, I tried but it didn't work! The mixture instantly welded itself to my hands and anything else I touched! :mad: What did I do wrong? :think: Too much water? It was sticky as hell, not particularly wet, but could maybe have been a bit drier...

    Oh well, I think I have salvaged the situation, and they're in now - I used two spoons to do it...one was a bit misshapen and sunk a bit and one's a bit small coz I wasted a bit I couldn't unglue from me skin. :rolleyes: :o The other two look great though. :drool:

    Edit: Why didn't anyone tell me that they grow? :eek: They're gonna be huge! :eek:

    Yeah, that'd be easy and not labour intensive at all. :rolleyes:
