Turn your dumplings over in the stock/gravy to give them colour all the way round.Cover the dish and microwave for 3 minutes on high (my microwave is about 700-900 watts).
At this point, to give my dumplings extra colour, I like to just turn them over so they’re coated in my stock.
Place the hot water or hot stock (you can microwave it for a minute to get it hot) into a deep/wide dish. When I make slow cooker stews and casseroles I usually make extra liquid in there and simply keep that and use it to make my dumplings. You can make your dumplings just by using boiling water (from the kettle), or you can mix up some stock. Once you’ve got your dumplings made (simply 2 parts Self Raising flour to 1 part suet, by weight) they need to be placed into liquid and microwaved. If you want to read more about dumplings without suet, you can read that here: Dumplings Without Suet. Suet is simply the word for fat that comes from round the kidneys of an animal, so it’s still fat – and you can make dumplings with butter/margarine or oil. I usually make dumplings with suet – but you can make dumplings without suet too, it doesn’t matter. 
Microwave cooking suet dumplings is quick, clean and easy…. Above is a photo of some microwave dumplings I made earlier today. Making microwave dumplings takes just 3 minutes and can work out better as they can truly be a last minute decision. Can you make dumplings in a microwave? Yes, you can cook dumplings in a microwave – and they’re great tasting too.
