Put in a vessel half a pound of well-sifted flour, mixed with half an ounce of baking-powder ; make a hollow in the centre, and pour into it a gill of lukewarm milk, half an ounce of butter, half a saltspoonful of salt, and break in one whole egg. Mix these ingredients well for two minutes, then incorporate the flour gradually. Lay the paste on a lightly floured board or table, roll it into a square a quarter of an inch thick, then with a plain paste-cutter (No. 7) cut out six pieces, putting in the middle of each piece two ounces of stewed peaches (No. 1334), fold up the edges all round, so as to enclose the peaches entirely, then have six small pieces of thick white cloth, eight inches square, butter and flour them well, then arrange the dumplings in them ; tie them firmly, leaving an empty space of an inch to allow the dumplings to swell, and plunge them in a large saucepan, holding a gallon of boiling water, and let them boil for twenty minutes ; remove from the fire, and lift them out with a fork ; let drain for two minutes, then cut the strings and remove the cloths. Dress the dumplings on a hot dessert-dish, pour over a hot wine sauce as for No. 1122, and serve.
