Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Canadian maple syrup
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Pour in the milk gradually and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix; set the dough aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the Canadian maple syrup, water, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the syrup mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.

Step 6

Using two spoons, scoop and drop small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon size) into the simmering syrup. Ensure there is room for the dumplings to expand.

Step 7

Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings cook for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as the steam is essential for cooking the dumplings properly.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, remove the lid and check that the dumplings are cooked through—they should be puffed up and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Spoon the dumplings into serving bowls, ladle some of the maple syrup sauce over them, and sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
