Suet dumplings have been made for hundreds of years, not only in Scotland but in the whole of the UK and Ireland, and were especially popular during hard times. Dumplings are very inexpensive to make and great at filling you up. Cooking the dumplings in the sauce, in my opinion, is the best, as they take on loads of flavour. They are absolutely delicious when they soak up the meat juices from the beef.
