How to Make Banana Dumplings With Toffee Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Add this mixture to the flour mixture along with 1/2 cup milk, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  5. To make the toffee sauce, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, bring to a gentle boil without stirring. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Gently drop heaping tablespoons of the dumpling dough into the simmering toffee sauce. Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
  8. Serve the warm banana dumplings immediately, generously drizzled with the toffee sauce and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
