Dumplings quick advice wanted...

Last night's dinner was stew and dumplings. Unexpectedly it shrank from four people to two. So I left a half portion of dumpling dough in the fridge. This is standard Atora vegetable suet, flour and water and a bit of salt. Rest of stew is now reheating in the oven, fairly soon it'll be time to put the dumplings in, but they seem to have gone a bit grey and super-sticky - should I abandon these ones and make new? Anyone cooked 24 hour old dumplings before? Will they be a chewy mess? It's only about 20p's worth of ingredients but I hate waste...

For what it costs, I’d bin it - it would be too disappointing if they were wrong, I LOVE dumplings!

I'd use the but it's entirely up to you. If you do make a new batch, please don't bin the others, put the outside - cats, dogs wildlife etc. can do with the fat.

Hmm, I think they will have started fermenting...
Think I'd get rid (or steam in water, and put out for the birds), and have fresh dumplings for me.

They reheat ok - if it happens again, cook them all the first night, and just reheat stew and dumplings the second night.

Thanks everyone, I read your replies and made fresh and in the interests of research cooked one of the old ones too. It was absolutely revolting! Whenever there have been left over dumplings before they've already been cooked and yy they reheat beautifully.

The remains of the old ones are feeding wildlife as suggested.
