Savoury Dumplings

Mix two ounces each of flour, white bread-crumbs, wholemeal, and oatmeal; rub in three ounces of clarified fat, and add a salt-spoonful of salt and nearly as much pepper. Then mix in half a tea-spoonful of baking-powder, and the same of mixed sweet herbs, with a little ground mace or nutmeg. Beat up an egg, and put it in with sufficient milk to make a paste that can be formed into dumplings. These may be boiled or steamed. Dumplings the size of a hen's egg will take about an hour.
