How to Make Maple Syrup Dumplings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate large saucepan, combine 1 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  5. Gently roll the dough into 12 balls, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter (approximately 30ml of dough per ball).
  6. Carefully drop the dough balls into the boiling syrup.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
  8. Serve the dumplings immediately, ladled from the pan with plenty of the warm maple syrup. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent touch!
