ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
Dumplings.—Your nomde-plume, ‘Old Housekeeper,’ makes me a little afraid that 1 shall not be able to help you much. However, I shall be very pleased to try. Do you know the following recipe? Make a rich biscuit dough, roll out pieces as large as a tea-plate, and in the centre of each put canned or stewed fruit of any kind, putting in very little of the juice. Draw the edges up and pinch them together, then place the dumplings in a buttered tin pan, put bits of butter and plenty of sugar on each, grate over a little nutmeg, then pour on the juice of the fruit and enough hot water to cover. Bake for an hour or an hour and a half according to the size of the dumplings, and serve in saucers. They make a nice change this time of the year when it is hard for the housewife to think of something to tempt the appetite.
