  dough, sift the flour, cornfiour and salt into a large bowl. Pour in
  the boiling water and stir quickly, then knead the mixture with the
  lard on to a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll the dough
  into cylinder, then cut it into 40 equal portions. Flatten a portion
  of dough, then roll it out thinly to give a round or oval shape. Put
  a little filling in the mlddle, then enclose lt in the dough,
  pressineg the edges together to make a three-sided seam. Some of the
  dumplings can be folded in half and the edges pinched into a frilly
  pattern. Alternatively, the top of the dumplings can be left. Brush
  the very edge of the pastry with a little food colouring. Continue
  until all the dough and filling is used. Arrange the dumplings in a
  greased steamer and simmer and cook over boiling water for 8 minutes.
