The dumplings need 3/4 cup milk not 1 tsp. Otherwise, excellent! - 1/30/14

I wish I had the nutritional value for the dumplings....I would like to make them with a beef stew. - 8/22/13

We enoyed this. I agree with the recommendation about additional milk. We used 6 cups of water and it turned out pretty well, and it is definitely a lot of food. - 1/29/11

Great meal just the recipe needs help as other members have suggested;
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tsp baking powder
1/2+ cup milk
water-Not sure how much I used but keep it thicker until the end so you don't have to thicken it with flour.
This recipe is a new family fav. - 1/24/11

Made this tonight- very tasty. Most of calories are in dumplings, and stew is great without it. I think it is supposed to be 3 tsp (not Tbsp) of baking powder, and 1/2 cup (not tsp) of milk - 1/13/11

My mother made this often. It's traditional Acadian (east coast of Canada) as opposed to Cajun (Louisiana). We also add parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (just like the song!) - 1/12/11
