3 cups flour
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
3/4 - 1 cup milk
salt
2 bunches beets, tops washed, chopped and stemmed
1 1/2 lbs bacon

Clean, stem and chop beet tops. Wilt in a small amount of water in pan. Mix dry indgredients, adding eggs and milk, work in the cooled, chopped beet tops, this requires mixing with hands and it is quite messy.
You are looking for a medium to medium firm dumpling so if mixture is too wet and sticky add flour, if too dry add milk.

Drain and chill.
Chop bacon and onion into bite size pieces, brown, add dumplings to heat through and serve.
