Another Way Recipe

Make nice light dough, by putting your flour into a platter; make a

hollow in the middle of it, and pour in a little good small beer warmed,

an egg well beaten, and some warm milk and water. Strew salt upon the

flour, but not upon the mixture in the middle, or it will not do well.

Then make it into as light a dough as you can, and set it before the

fire, covered with a cloth, a couple of hours, to rise. Make it into

large dumplings, and set them before the fire six or seven minutes;

then put them into boiling water with a little milk in it. A quarter of

an hour will do them.
