Ingredients:
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
2 cups milk
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
apples
sugar
Preparation:
- Beat well, without separating, two eggs, add a pinch of salt, two cups of milk and one cup of flour.
- To a second cup of flour, add two teaspoons of baking powder; add this to the batter and as much more flour as is necessary to make a soft dough.
- Roll out quickly one-half inch thick. Cut into squares, lay two or three quarters of pared apples on each, sprinkle with sugar and pinch the dough around the apples.
- Have a number of pudding cloths ready, wrung out of cold water, and sprinkle well with flour. Put a dumpling in each, leave a little room for swelling and tie tightly. Drop into a kettle of rapidly boiling water and keep the water at a steady boil for an hour. Have a saucer in the bottom of kettle to prevent burning.
- Serve hot with hard sauce.
