Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Discard the Bay Leaves then add the potatoes, carrots and onion. Cover and simmer for a further 25 minutes.
 
Meanwhile you can prepare the dumplings. or dumplings. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and dill. Mix together the egg and milk with a fork to add some air then gently stir in the egg and milk just until the mix is moistened but firm. Scoop out dumpling-sized portions from the bowl (a tablespoon normally does the job) and drop onto the top of the simmering stew. Cover and simmer for a further 15 minutes but do not lift the lid as the steam is cooking the dumplings! After the 15 minutes open the lid and test the dumplings for firmness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
