DUMPLINGS FOR STEW

This is another recipe from my 1955 Marshall Township PTA cookbook. This recipe is from Mrs. Burnece McDonald. Mrs. McDonald's son was my classmate.

2 cups sifted flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk, 1 tbsp. shortening

Drop from spoon on simmering stew, covering tightly, cook gently without removing cover, 15-20 minutes. Tomato dumplings may be made by substituting tomato juice for milk.
