That should be OK, but I start with plain flour and add own baking powder (3 teaspoons to 8 oz flour), and with self-raising flour I think you will still need to add somoe ore baking powder.

My wife cooks Jamaican style dumplin', which is basically flour and water - not at all fluffy!

For me, i find that, first thing in the morning, no more than 15 mins and the sports paper provides the perfect dumpling.
