- The vegetables and beef will become tender.
- Combine the flour and water and stir this slowly into the beef stew.

- Combine flour, baking powder, sage, rosemary, thyme, chives and salt in a bowl.
- Cut in butter that's been kept at room temperature or use soft margarine.
- Stir milk lightly into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon and adjust amounts to make sure that you have a moist dumpling dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough on to the hot beef stew, then cover allow to cook on high for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the herb dumplings comes out clean.
- Do not overcook dumplings. Dumplings may disintegrate if left to cook too long.
