Baked Apple Dumplings

One cup of butter and lard mixed, one quart of flour, salt to taste, three teaspoons of baking powder. Mix with milk. Pare and core apples. Roll out dough to cover each separately and fill the whole with sugar. Grate nutmeg over the top. Put in the pan with water to half cover. Put in that a half cup of sugar, and butter size of an egg. Baste while baking, allowing three-quarters of an hour, and your dumplings will come out with a delicious glaced brown crust.

Serve with a hard or a liquid sauce.- Mrs L. S. Baumgardner.
