Do You Flour The Meat?

[Bilby]

I flour chunks or strips of meat but nothing larger for the red meats. Chicken and fish fillets always get floured, usually a seasoned flour.

I flour when adding cut up meat to a crock pot stew (without the browning stage). I find that Wondra works the best for this. (no lumps)

I too flour the meat( for a stew) first, along with a sprinkling of mixed herbs; seasoning and nutmeg, sometimes a pinch of cloves, then put it in the slow cooker; add plenty of liquid; it makes a lovely thick gravy. When it's cooked I strain the meat; put the gravy in a saucepan and throw in the dumplings for 20 mins on the stove top. Then add the meat back in.Yummmmy. I looooove dumplings
