After several failed attempts at making dumplings, I gave Aunt Bessie a call and she told me to try her frozen ones, I asked where to get these and she told me all supermarkets sell them! I went into our local Tesco store and picked up a bag of these for £1.25, for this you get eight fairly sized frozen dumplings. These carried the same branding colours, the dark blue background with Aunt Bessies lovely photo, with pictures of the dumplings on top of a pot of stew, so you get a good idea what they look like.

These are so easy to use, you simply add them to stews or casseroles, cook for a further 20 to 25 minutes and then serve. They are all ready formed and frozen, ...  Read the complete review
