Refrigerate for about 3 hours so ingredients get to know each other.
Don’t be tempted to add more our as it makes for a dry, tough dumpling.
Dip hands in cold water and roll mix into golf ball sized pieces.
Bring stock to boil, reduce so flavour is more concentrated and season to taste.
Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Then add dumplings and gently simmer for 10 minutes. be careful not to over cook as it will make dumplings tough.
