  Mix the blue cornmeal, baking powder and salt thoroughly in a bowl.
  
  Add the shortening and work the ingredients together with a pastry
  cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

  or too thin.
  
  Drop batter by teaspoonfuls on top of stew or chil in a pot.
  
  Cover the pot tightly and steam the dumplings for 15 minutes. DON'T

  heat during this process.
  
  After 15 minutes, remove lid and serve the stew or chili with the
  dumplings.
