BOILED APPLE DUMPLINGS

Ingredients

• 2 count Eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 6 count Apples, peeled and cored (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 8 cups Water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the salt, milk, and 1 cup of flour. Mix until combined.
2. 2In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour and baking powder. Add this to the batter and mix. Add more flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
3. 3On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares. Place 2-3 apple quarters on each square. Sprinkle with sugar and pinch the dough around the apples to seal.
4. 4Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady boil and cook for 1 hour, or until the dumplings are cooked through. Place a saucer at the bottom of the pot to prevent burning.
5. 5Serve the dumplings hot with hard sauce, if desired.
