How to Make Dumpling
- Bring a large pot (at least 6 quarts) of water to a rolling boil. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup raisins, 1 cup currants, 1 cup grated apple, and 1 cup grated carrot.
- Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Gradually add 1-1 ½ cups of cold water, a little at a time, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
- Find a large clean kitchen cloth (at least 3 feet square). Dip the center of the cloth in water, and wring out the excess water.
- Lightly dust the damp cloth with flour.
- Carefully turn the dough out onto the floured cloth. Gather the edges of the cloth around the dough, leaving some room for expansion.
- Tie the bundle tightly using kitchen twine or strong string.
- Carefully lower the dumpling bundle into the boiling water. Boil for at least 2 hours, ensuring it stays fully submerged.
- After boiling, remove the dumpling and place it in a lightly greased small roasting pan (approximately 9x13 inches). Bake at 350°F (175°C) until lightly browned and slightly dried, about 15-20 minutes.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, canned cream, or a brown sugar sauce.
