Amish Classic: Brown Sugar Dumplings
- 1 /2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 /2 cup milk or water
- Syrup: 1 cup brown sugar, 2 cups hot water, 2 tablespoons butter
- In a medium saucepan put brown sugar, butter, and hot water.
- The brown sugar dissolves and you’ll be left with just liquid.
- Heat until the liquid is boiling.
- While the liquid heating, mix the dumpling ingredients in a bowl.
- At first the ingredients were too coarse and dry, like coarse crumbs.
- So I added a touch more milk and that seemed to do the trick.
- You want a dumpling dough that is somewhere between coarse crumbs and elastic bread dough. Pour the boiling syrup into an 8 X 8 square baking pan.
- Preheat oven to 350. Then drop the dough by teaspoon full into the liquid.
- Drop by spoon full in three rows of three.
- Put baking dish into the oven and then bake for about 30 minutes until the dumpling dough is golden.
- You’ll end up with a thick dumpling layer on top, with the liquid mixture on the bottom.
- Let cool then cut into squares and spoon into a dish.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and spoon more syrup over that.
