This quantity of flour will make enough to serve two at a meal, and the proportions may be easily doubled if you wish to serve a large family." "Then, Mary, I have a recipe taken from the 'Farmers' Bulletin' for dumplings, which I think fine.

You must try it some time.

Your Aunt Sarah thinks them 'dreadfully extravagant.' They call for four teaspoonfuls of baking powder to two cups of flour, but they are perfect puff balls, and this is such a fast age, why not use more baking powder if an advantage?
I am always ready to try anything new I hear about." "Yes," replied Mary, "I just love to try new recipes, I will experiment with the dumplings one of these days.

Aunt Sarah says I will never use half the recipes I have; but so many of them have been given me by excellent and reliable old Bucks County cooks, I intend to copy them all in a book, and keep for reference after I leave the farm.".
