In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, Tabasco and
bacon bits.

In another bowl, combine the scallions, 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon fat,
the egg and chicken stock. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix just
enough to blend.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into
the water. Cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for a
few minutes more, just enough to dry out each dumpling slightly on top.

Variation: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture directly into your
favorite casserole.
