Apple Sugar Dumplings

Sift an even quart of Five Roses flour twice with 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Chop into this a tablespoon cottolene or other fat and one of butter. Mix into a soft dough with 2 cups milk; roll out into a sheet a scant ½ inch thick, and cut into squares about 5 inches each way. Lay in centre of each a large tart apple, pared and cored. Fill space left by coring with sugar, fold the corners together, enveloping the apple, tie up in cheese cloth squares, dipped into hot water, and well floured on the inside.

Have ready a pot of boiling water. Drop in the dumplings and cook fast one hour.

Dip each for one second in cold water to loosen the cloth, turn out upon a hot dish and eat with hard sauce. -Selected.
