Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 cups Maple syrup
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture forms a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the maple syrup and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering maple syrup mixture. Be sure to leave some space between the dumplings as they will expand while cooking.
Step 6
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the dumplings cook undisturbed for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through.
Step 7
Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the pan and place them in serving bowls. Spoon some of the warm maple syrup sauce over the dumplings.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, comforting dessert!
