Baked Apple Dumplings.
1 quart of prepared flour; 2 tablespoonfuls of lard, and 1 of butter; 1 saltspoonful of salt; 2 cups of milk.
Mix into a paste, rubbing shortening and salt into the flour, then wetting with the milk. Roll out less than half an inch thick; cut into squares; lay a pared and cored apple in the centre of each; bring the corners together, and join neatly. Lay in a buttered baking-pan, the joined edges down, and bake to a nice brown. Glaze with white of egg just before you take them up. Sift powdered sugar over them, and eat with hot, sweet sauce.
Third Week. Thursday.
