Answer 1

Hi! Make sure you have a wee bit extra water in the mince, so it doesnt stick. I do the granules after the dumplings usually. Anyway, just sit the dumplings on top of the mince, dont worry if they sink a bit, not a problem. Put a lid on the pot and simmer for as long as it takes the tatties to boil. Simple as that!
If you want to check theyre cooked through, just insert a knife, itll come out sticky if theyre still dough in the centre, give them a bit longer then. mmmm I want that for dinner now!

ps. for the future, Id suggest you cook the mince with the onion and a bit of water for about twenty mins BEFORE the potatoes go on, it just cooks the mince down nicer :) Then pop the dumplings on when the tatties are starting to boil. I thicken the mince with the granules after Ive taken the dumplings out, so the mince doesnt stick to the pot while the granules are in it.

Answer 2

Just drop the the dumplings in the mince about 20-25 minutes before you want to dish up. Keep the mince simmering and cover pot with a lid as it's the steam that cooks the dumplings..
Bon appetite.

I fry mince with the onions, until onions opaque, then I add the potatoes, vegetables, with a beef cube crumbled in a pint and cook until slightly aldente. then I add a little more stock if needed and place in the dumplins to soak up the rich gravy. /thicken with granules when dumplins are cooked. then enjoy. Try making herby dumplins to accommpany the mince. delicious.
