Bring syrup to a boil and pour into a generously buttered 8 by 8 by 2
baking dish. Let stand in a warm place, With a large spoon beat butter,
sugar and egg together until creamy. Mix remaining dry ingredients and add
with the milk to the creamed mixture, stirring until well blended. Place
as four large balls into hot syrup, then stretch dough with two forks
until all are joined together. This is easy because the dough gets soft
when it comes in contact with the hot syrup. If using nut meats, add them
to the hot syrup. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Tastes great with
ice cream or whipping cream, served warm.
