The book says this about the recipe I picked.
"These dumplings are basically a corn bread and can be served with any meal, not just soup"
Baked Corn Dumplings
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
2 tsp. double-acting baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
4 TB. oil
1. In a bowl combine all the ingredients except the oil and mix well.
2. Oil one or two large cookie sheets and place large tablespoons of the mixture on top. You should have approximately 16 dumplings. Sprinkle the top with the remaining oil and bake in 375 degree oven for 13 to 15 minutes.
3. Place the dumplings in soup 1 or 2 minutes before serving so that they absorb some of the liquid and get soft. Or, pass them separately.
