The booklet that came with my new slow cooker doesn't do dumplings and I've been trawling the net looking for this answer. I'll try it soon and post up the results!

If it works with hard (chilled) butter or marg I don't see why it wouldn't work with lard, but you wouldn't get the nice buttery taste. Using a slow cooker for your stews or casseroles is a great idea, but I'd advise against slow cooking dumplings. Just pop them in 10 minutes or so before you're ready to eat the meal. Hi Jen

I've never heard of Welsh Cawl - must investigate! I agree about adding herbs to a dough buoy mix. Parsley and thyme are always good, and sage goes very well with any pork dish. Hi John
