__Cinnamon Dumplings (souskluitjies)__

120 g cake flour 5 ml baking powder 1 ml salt 60 ml butter 2 large eggs 15 ml white sugar 500 ml water pinch of salt butter Cinnamon sugar

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Rub in the butter. Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and mix with the flour mixture to make a thick batter. Bring the water and salt to the boil in a large shallow saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Dip a teaspoon in the boiling water to heat it, then scoop up a spoonful of batter and drop it into the boiling water. Repeat this, dipping the spoon into the water each time, until all the batter has been used. Do not cook too many dumplings at once, they should not touch one another. Cover the saucepan and simmer the dumplings over low heat for about 10-15 minutes. The secret of obtaining light dumplings is to ensure that they are not completely covered when steaming. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoonand place them in a warmed dish. Dot them with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Serve immedately. For a variation serve the dumplings with a spicy cinnamon and butter sauce. Add 15 ml butter and a little cinnamon sugar to the water in which the dumplings were cooked and simmer till the butter has melted. Pour over the hot dumplings and serve.
