To make Norfolk Dumplings.
Mix a good thick batter, as for pancakes; take half a pint of milk, two eggs, a little salt, and make it into a batter with flour. Have ready a clean sauce-pan of water boiling, into which drop them by batter. Be sure the water boils fast, and two or three minutes will boil them; then throw them into a sieve to drain the water away, then turn them into a dish and stir a lump of fresh butter into them: eat them hot, and they are very good.
