Cut into about eight pieces each, ten or twelve pared and cored, rather tart, medium sized apples. Put into a kettle with water enough to about half cover them. Add one cupful sugar. Have this apple sauce started boiling when the dumplings are added. For the dumplings— ½ cupful sour milk ½ teaspoonful soda ½ teaspoonful salt ½ teaspoonful sugar butter size ½ egg flour Stir the soda dissolved in little water, into the milk, add salt, sugar, a little flour, part of the softened butter, more flour and butter, and flour till no more can be stirred in. Drop from a dessert spoon dipped each time in cold water, on top of the boiling apple sauce. This makes eight dumplings, not too thick, the size of a biscuit.
