Cheese & Chive Dumplings.

JinxTheCat's Note:

This recipe is to go with my Economical Beef Stew recipe but I have posted seperately as these are delicious enough to have with anything you thing they'll go with!! I think they're great in any stew or soups. These are inspired by something I saw a while ago on TV, cannot remember what exactly though sorry! This makes 12-15.

I made these and added them to JinxTheCat's beef stew. The dumplings were light and fluffy. The only variation to the recipe was the cheese, I only had swiss cheese on hand. I made this as part of PAC Spring 2010
