- Dumplings. If dumplings are required the mixture is made into balls & put in small bags well greased inside to prevent water going in. The bags are well tied on top & then dropped into a pot of boiling water on fire & let boil for an hour or so.Starch. The juice collected at the basin is allowed to settle & a thick sediment remains at the bottom. This was used as starch & was the only starch used before the shop starch came before the public.
