This recipe was found in an old trunk that came across the Oregon
 Trail in the 1800's.  The pioneers used any kind of wild berry,
 including wild strawberries.  This recipe has been cut down to this
 small amount from feeding about 120.
 4 eggs                      
 4 Tbsp melted butter       
 4 tsp baking powder        
 4 tsp sugar
 1 tsp salt
 12 Tbsp. flour
 Combine to make stiff batter to hold shape.
 4 cups strawberries         
 2 cups sugar
 Mash berries with sugar.  Bring to boil in a large pot with a tight
 lid.  Drop dumplings into hot liquid, reduce heat and simmer, with
 lid on, for 15 minutes.  Don't lift lid - don't peek!  Remove
 dumplings carefully to dessert dishes and spoon berries over.
 Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
