Old Time Dumplings

Tucked away among Grandma Johnson's cherished recipes, I unearthed this little gem! It's a piece of culinary history, originally published in the Bi-Centennial cookbook of Fertile, Minnesota, all the way back in 1974. There's something truly special about bringing a recipe with this kind of heritage back to life.
