At noon put a cake yeast in a cup of cold water; at evening stir in flour (Sperry Drifted Snow), to make a batter. Put in large vessel and let rise over night. In morning add 1 cup soft lard, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoonful salt; mix in flour until it will not stick to the hands; let rise until night; pinch off biscuit size of walnut; if you like crust flatten to 3/8 inch thick. Let rise until morning and bake 20 minutes. Work down remaining dough and in evening pinch off more to rise for next morning; keep left-over dough in cold place, as it is good until used.

Two cups of flour (Sperry Drifted Snow), 1 cup of sweet milk, 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt; boil 7 minutes with lid on. The secret of light dumplings is, before putting them in, put in plenty of cold water in gravy to stop boiling; then place dumplings. This gives them time to raise and cook inside.
