PEACH DUMPLINGS

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup milk or cream

2 cups sliced peaches

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups hot water

Make a syrup of the sugar with the butter and 2 cups hot water. Add the peaches. Let this come to a boil. Make dumplings by mixing flour and baking powder and salt into a fairly stiff batter with milk or cream. Drop large spoonfuls of this batter into the boiling syrup and peaches. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Serve while hot.
