NORFOLK DUMPLINGS (another way)

When bread is made at home, take a little of the dough just ready for the oven, make it up into small balls about the size of an orange, drop them into fast-boiling water, and when done enough, drain them, and serve immediately. Send melted butter, sweetened and flavoured with lemon-juice, to table with them. The dumplings should be torn apart with two forks when they are eaten, or they will be heavy. To ascertain if they are done enough, stick a fork quickly into them; if it comes out clear, they are sufficiently cooked. Time, about a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, 3d. Sufficient, one pound of dough for about four people.
