low-carb dumpling recipe

[banjo brunette]

Can anyone help with a low-carb dumpling recipe please? A stew's too wet without one....
Cheers BB

Have you actually tried a 'normal' dumpling with stew and tested before and after?

Because, as long as you only eat a small dumpling, it may not raise your bg's too much. After all, it's just suet and flour, and it's the flour that has the carbs. It may not upset your levels too much, once in a while.

If the stewing meat is not too lean, you may be okay!

Once I've finished being a guinea pig for the fish and chips, I might sacrifice myself in the interests of dumplings next! But not until at least April! :wink:

Hi Viv
I try to keep away from "proper" flour - once it's in the house there are SO many temptations. Good luck with the fish and chips
Cheers, BB

Difficult, isn't it? I used to keep any carbs I had - eg flour - in a locked filing cabinet at one end of the building and the key in the garage at the other! But I do agree - none at all is the best way.

If you get a recipe, please let me know!

There's a recipe for low carb ham and cheese muffin on here, not exactly dumplings I know, but I made them (without the ham as I am a veggie) and had them with chile and they were better than nothing..........

You should be able to botch something together that'll be a good substitute for dumplings using the following recipes (you'll have to google 'em):

Nudies (remove the spinach)
Lo-Carb Pie Crust
Lo-Carb muffins/Oopsie Rolls

Gonna take a bit of trial and error, though - but us Diabetics are experts at that! :wink:

Let us know how you get on.

Ingredients for 16 to 18 dumplings for 5-6 servings (approximately 3-4g carbs per dumpling)

2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 cup almond flour

Instructions

1.Beat the eggs until fluffy.

2.Add the spices and almond flour.

3.Put dough in the freezer for 30 minutes or the fridge for an hour or two. You can get by with less chilling time, but forming the dumplings will be messier. If aesthetics are important to you, chill the dumplings.

4.Bring a pot of water to a boil.

5.Form all your dumplings at the same time so they can go into the water about the same time.

6.Steam, with the lid on, for about 8 to 10 minutes. They will puff up and you'll see air pockets inside when cut, this means they are done.

Might give them a try, Sue. Sounds nice. I'd probably throw some cream cheese in there too.

Hi I just wanted to pop in and say I'm so pleased to see my dumpling recipe used. If you want to see pictures and get more information you can view the original recipe here

I don't know if I would add cream cheese to the recipe as the dumplings fluff up a bit and I'm not sure how the cream cheese would affect that. The flavor might be a nice addition though.

If you try it with the cream cheese, let me know.

Thanks
