Recipe - Canadian Maple Dumplings

DUMPLINGS
2 cups allpurpose flour
1 cup Milk
4 teaspoon Baking powder
4 tablespoon Butter
1 pn Salt

SYRUP
2 cup 100% Pure Maple Syrup
1 cup Water
1 pn Salt
One half cup Raisins; seedless

Mix allpurpose flour, baking powder and salt. Sift together. Cut in
butter. Add milk and stir to obtain a smooth paste. Drop thick dough, by
spoonfuls, into boiling Pure Maple Syrup and allow to cook 20 minutes
without removing the lid from the pan. Serve with Pure Maple Syrup,
thickened if desired, to which raisins have been added. NB: It is very
important to add the milk to dry ingredients at the last minute when Pure
Maple Syrup is ready to start cooking dumplings.
