““1/8 tsp bouquet garni or sage, if desired Mix dry ingredients, cut in margarine or shortening, add water. When cooking dumplings it may be necessary to pour off some of the stew liquid so dumplings can rest on meat and vegetables as they cook. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto stew mixture. Allow space for the dumplings to rise. Cover pot with a tight fitting lid. Boil hard 12-14 minutes. Reheat reserved stew liquid and serve on stew as gravy.””
