Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make up a pint of flour at sun rise, exactly as you do for bread, and see that it rises well.
  2. Have a large pot of water boiling.
  3. Half an hour before the puddings are to go to table, make the dough in balls the size of a goose egg.
  4. Throw them in the water and boil them quickly, keeping the pot covered.
  5. They must be torn asunder, as cutting will make them heavy.
  6. Eat them with powdered sugar, butter, and grated nutmeg.
