FAVORITE DESSERT
GRANDPÈRES - GRANDFATHERS
This is a very old Canadian recipe that was handed down from one generation to the next. It is still as good today as it was then. This was Grandma Gauthier's favorite dessert. I still can remember how happy she was when she ate this dessert.
2 cups cake flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsps. butter
3/4 cup milk
2 cups maple syrup
2 cups water
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender. Add milk and mix well. Combine maple syrup with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Drop the dough in the hot maple syrup by the tablespoonful. Cover and cook 25 minutes. Serve very hot, pouring over them the syrup in which they were cooked.
