Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Steamer
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
  • In a saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently drop the dough balls into the syrup.
  • Cover and let the dumplings cook for 20 minutes, ensuring they do not stick to each other.
  • After cooking, remove the pan from heat and let the dumplings rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the sweet dumplings warm, drizzled with the leftover syrup from the pan.

Notes

For an extra touch, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to each serving for a richer dessert experience. If you want a more aromatic flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the syrup. Always keep an eye on the simmering process to avoid burning the syrup, and ensure the dumplings are evenly coated.
