How to Make Dumplings In Canadian Maple Syrup
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the chilled shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve a slightly firm, but not sticky, dough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 2-3 times until it just comes together.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan, heat 2 1/2 cups of maple syrup over medium heat.
- Bring the syrup to a gentle simmer, avoiding a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the simmering syrup, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cover the skillet and gently poach the dumplings for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and puffed up. Do not lift the lid frequently.
- Carefully remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve immediately, drizzled with extra maple syrup if desired.
