PEACH DUMPLINGS

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup milk or cream
• 2 cups sliced peaches
• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups hot water

Make a syrup of the sugar with the butter and 2 cups hot water. Add the peaches. Let this come to a boil. Make dumplings by mixing flour and baking powder and salt into a fairly stiff batter with milk or cream. Drop large spoonfuls of this batter into the boiling syrup and peaches. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Serve while hot.
