Dumplings are served with stews, Jiggs dinner, and pea soup. They are real favorites in Newfoundland. (When cooked with Jiggs dinner, you can add raisins.)
2 cups of flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. margarine
3/4 cup water or milk
(1/2 cup of raisins, optional)
Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut margarine into the flour until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk or water. (Add the raisins.) Drop the dough into the stew , soup, or Jiggs dinner by spoonfuls. Boil uncovered for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes. Serve with the dinner.
