Blackberry shortcake is made in the same way. PUDDINGS AND SAUCES. 155 STEAMED APPLE DUMPLINGS. Make the crust as for biscuit, cut off enough for one dumpling and fill it with nice, tart, sliced apples; pinch well and shape in- to a round ball, and steam three-fourths of an hour over a kettle N/ of water. They are much nicer steamed than boiled. Serve with sugar and cream. Or you can bake them till they are crust- ed over, and pour over them a sauce made as follows: One pint of boiling water, one cup of sugar, piece of butter the size of an egg; boil this sauce five minutes, then pour it over the dumplings; bake, and when one side is browned, turn them over, and brown on the other side. This forms a nice sauce for the dumplings. Apricots, peaches, or any other tart fruit or preserves, are very nice made in this way. PEACH COBBLER. Take one quart of flour, four tablespoonfuls melted lard, half teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of Equity baking-powder; mix as for biscuit, with either sweet milk or water, roll thin, and line a pudding-dish; mix three tablespoonfuls flour and two of sugar together, and sprinkle over the crust; then put in nicely sliced peaches and sprinkle over them one cupful of sugar; wet the edges with a little flour and water mixed, put on the upper crust, press the edges together, make two openings by cutting two incisions at right angles an inch in length, and bake in a quick oven half an hour. Plums, apples, or any kind of fresh or canned fruit, can be made in the same way. BLACKBERRY SHORTCAKE.
