Ingredients
- 500 ml Maple syrup
- 500 ml Water
- 180 g All-purpose flour
- 10 g Baking powder
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 2 g Salt
- 60 g Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the maple syrup and water, and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
While the maple syrup mixture is heating, prepare the dumpling dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Gently stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft but slightly sticky.
Step 5
Using a spoon or your hands, form the dough into small dumpling balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
Step 6
Once the maple syrup mixture reaches a gentle simmer, carefully drop the dumplings into the saucepan, one at a time, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time, as the steam is necessary for proper cooking.
Step 8
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and check the dumplings for doneness—they should be puffed and cooked through.
Step 9
Serve the warm dumplings in bowls, drizzled with the maple syrup sauce from the pan. Optionally, top with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.
