I don’t have pics to accompany most of this story, but this weekend we made a roast, and collected the drippings to make a gravy, and yesterday I had a roast chicken and stuffing bread roll with mustard and cranberry sauce. We browned a bunch of onions, added this to the gravy, and used this as a dipping sauce. It was glorious.
Today, we used the leftover onion gravy to do a makeshift onion soup. We added some more chicken to this, and also did dumplings.
It may look bad, especially the plate (I did not want to burn myself bringing it in, so I used the plate I had been keeping utensils on) but I assure you it was divine.
Look forward to doing something again next week.
You can literally just take self-raising flour and keep adding water until you have a bunch of nice, smooth and firm balls, but this particular batch is 1:2 vegetable suet to flour.
