2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. vegetable oil

DUMPLINGS:

2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Shell, wash and place beans into boiler and cover with water. Season and cook until tender. You will need plenty of broth. Make a stiff dough by adding sweet milk to the flour, baking powder and salt. Roll out thin and cut in 1 1/2 inch squares and drop in boiling broth. Simmer about 15 minutes. Do not stir.
