Baked Apple Dumplings. Time—1 hour.
½ lb. flour, 4 oz. dripping, ½ teaspoonful baking-powder, 4 apples, cloves or lemon-rind, 2 oz. brown sugar.
Peel and core the apples, and fill the centre of each with moist sugar and 2 cloves or 2 pieces lemon-rind. Rub the dripping into the flour, add the baking-powder and enough cold water to form a stiff paste, divide it into four, and roll each piece out. Place an apple in the centre of each piece of paste, and work it well round the apple. Grease a tin, place the dumplings on it, and bake about ¼ hour.
