Last night was two bean soup with dumplings. It is meant to be mixed bean soup with herby dumplings (suet ones at that) but I didn't have any mixed beans, only kidney and butter beans, so I decided to up the quantity of leeks (fresh from the garden) and add a touch more carrot to compensate. The dumplings well veg suet is expensive anywhere, so I don't use it unless it is a recipe calling for it and it is the first time I have made it. So I use a basic scone recipe and make tiny donuts (flattened balls with the centres pinched) and put them in instead. Let them cook in the sauce and they are excellent.
And I also made
@MypinchofItaly's olive oil biscuits but the scales decided to turn themselves off as I started to pour the oil in... so I ended up with 75g more flour needed than the recipe stated and I accidentally overcooked them waiting for them to brown (as per the instructions).... oh well. I guess it gives me a good reason to make them again next week!
