Dumplings, Half-Hour

Shred very finely half a pound of beef suet, and prepare the same weight of bread-crumbs, with the addition of one table-spoonful of flour, three ounces of currants, two ounces of sugar, a little lemon-peel and grated nutmeg, moistened by three well-beaten eggs. Roll the dough into balls, tie them separately in small cloths, and boil very quickly. Serve with melted butter, sweetened, poured over them. Time, half an hour to boil. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for eight or ten dumplings.
