Dumplings

Hi all you wonderful, experienced people!
I'm making a veg casserole with dumplings. The mixture I used has not given anywhere near enough water so I added more and as luck would have it, got a little over-excited!
What should the mix resemble? Should it be quite dry like bread dough? Or should it be wetter like cake mix?
Also, I think I may have too much mix for the pan, can I cook them in another pan? With just some veg stock?
TIA
Caroline
**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

Hi, for dumplins the mix is a bit sticky but not to much. You need to be able to make little balls of dumplins in your hands to put in the casserole. If you have added to much water try adding a little more flour.If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

You can, or just use water

last time i made dumplings i thought i added too much water - they were really sticky!!! but....they turned out to be the best i had ever made! light and fluffy! even OH said they were good! apparently i made them too dry before - more like pastry and less like bread dough! but they were even stickier than bread dough! know now to make them so they stick to fingers!0

they need to be a soft slightly sticky dough, otherwise they come out heavy'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time0

Jamie's recipe looks great, I thought dumplings were made with suet. Can they go in a slow cooker on top of a stew or does it not get hot enough to cook the dough?0

Good idea from Jamie, but I'm not 100% certain I like the sound of using BUTTER in dumplings
. Sounds too rich for me. 0 -

Butter's no richer than suet and they were very nice when I made them this way once.
I like dumplings on the top of an oven casserole so the tops are crisp and the underneath fluffy.0
