Grandperes (grandfathers)

These are really just maple dumplings. They are oh so good and were a real treat when I was growing up.  We used to have them for lunch, as the lunch.  Not too nutritional but I didn't care.  They were just so great.

2 cups flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsps. butter
3/4 cup milk
2 cups maple syrup
2 cups water

Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl.  Cut in the butter with knives or pastry blender.  Make a hole and pour in the milk.  Mix well.   In a saucepan bring the water and maple syrup to a boil.  Drop the dough into the syrup by the tablespoon.  Cover and cook 20 minutes.  Don't peek.  Place in bowls and pour the hot maple syrup over them.
