Scottish Stew And Doughboys
- 1 lb stewing beef, chopped
- 2 tablespoons seasoned flour
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1/4 turnip, chopped
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- salt and black pepper
- DOUGHBOYS
- 4 ounces flour
- 2 ounces beef suet or 2 ounces vegetable suet
- 4 tablespoons water (approx, to make dough)
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- Chop up beef; roll into seasoned flour.
- Place into a hot oiled pan to brown (Will go crusty on the base. Do not worry).
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, and turnips. Cook on medium until softened.
- Dissolve beef bouillon cubes in about 3/4 pint of water.
- Pour mixture into stew.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Slow cook on low heat until beef is tender, approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
- Stir often and keep the gravy level up by adding water.
- DOUGHBOYS:
- Blend flour and suet together.
- Mix in a little water at a time to make a dough.
- Roll into balls and place on top of gravy about 15 to 20 minutes from end of cooking.
- Make sure there is enough gravy as they soak up the liquid.
- Best cooked with lid on pan.
- When ready they are light and fluffy about double the size.
- To serve, take out doughboys and thicken the gravy if required with gravy thickener or a little cornflour mixed with water.
- I like to cook the stew in the morning, switch it off and reheat when making the doughboys for our evening meal; always tastes much better.
