3/4 c. white flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter

Mix all ingredients well. Drop by spoonsful onto bubbling hot stew, cover and steam for 15 minutes.

This method will turn stew cloudy, so if you wish to avoid this, you can steam them 15 minutes in water first. Then add dumplings to stew and simmer for a few minutes.
