Cynthia Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 When the dough for making bread had risen pieces were cut off and dropped into boiling water (like dumplings), leave for 10 minutes then flip over ,leave further 10 minutes. Place onto a plate pull open with two forks, (never cut with a knife), pour on Golden syrup and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterw Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Watter Whelps I think that is what they were called was an pudding from years ago,can anyone remember them and tell me what they were? So, what it boils down to is WATTER (water) and (WHELP) a bitch in the process of giving birth. Strange! VERY STRANGE! But given the opportunity I’ll definitely try it.

Twirly2009 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My husband told me about these things he called watter welks that his mother made for the family (9kids) They were made from dumpling mixture dropped into boiling water and cooked then served with Jam. We made some but when I saw the (sorry about this) snotty looking dumpling covered in jam I found out I wasnt hungry, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosy nellie Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 :Just goes to show how times have changed Twirly,we would eat what we were given in the old days and be glad of it.Looking back we were fed some right concoctions,but it did us no harm and I think we were healthier than kids of today.
