Baked Flippers

Difficulty: easy Prep Time: More than 15 Minutes Total Time: More than 1 hour
2 seal flippers
3 slices fat pork
3 carrots
1 parsnip
2 medium onions
6 potatoes
1 turnip
salt and pepper, to taste

Topping:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

Remove all fat from flippers carefully. Wash and cut into serving pieces. Do not parboil. Fry out salt pork and brown flippers in this. Add a little water and let simmer until partly tender. Add chopped vegetables, except potatoes. Season and add 1 cup water. Cook about 1/2 hour and then add potatoes. Cook for another 15 minutes, adding a little water if needed. Mix all topping ingredients together using enough water to make a stiff dough. Place topping flat over the pan cover and cook 15 - 20 minutes. Serve when cooked.
