Servings: persons
Instructions
- Drizzle a little oil in pan/roasting tin and brown oxtails on a high heat – either hob or oven. Add onions and roast 10 minutes more.
- Season and cover with water. Cover tightly with lid or foil. Cook in oven for a. minimum of 3 hours at 180℃, checking occasionally that there is sufficient water to cover meat.
- The meat is cooked when it falls from the bone. At this point add blended cornflour, stir into juices.
- Mix dry dumpling ingredients in a bowl. Add sufficient milk, mixing with a knife, until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl – similar to a scone dough.
- Spoon dough onto oxtails, in between the meat and landing on the juices, well spaced out.
- Return to oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The juices should have thickened to a fine glaze and the dumplings risen and baked through and set.
