         (dumplings)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter
                                          1 egg
                                           half cup milk
                                           half teaspoon salt
                                           1 tspn baking powder

Method:

Cream the butter and the sugar. Set aside. Beat eggs add milk and beat again. Set aside. Mix flour, salt and baking powder.  

Now add a little of the flour mixture to the creamed butter and mix well then add a little of the milk and egg, mix well. Alternate in this way until all  ingredients are mixed and you have a 
stiffish dough (not so stiff that it will not drip -  add a bit more milk if necessary).

Boil 3 cups water in a saucepan, when boiling remove from the stove and drip spoonfuls of the dough into the boiling water.  Put the lid on the saucepan and put the saucepan back onto the stove and simmer slowly for fifteen minutes without lifting the lid. 

Now place the dumplings into a warm dish or bowl and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon.  Also add a few pats of butter.
