Easy Dumplings

Mix together in medium size bowl:

2 cups white flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Cut in: 4 Tb. softened butter

Stir in: 1 cup milk

Plop on top of eye-of-newt soup, simmering and bubbling in your favorite cauldron. Cover pot with sturdy lid and let steam for ten minutes over low heat. NO PEEKING!


"Fillet of fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog.

Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,----

For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble."

(From: Shakespeare's Macbeth)
