Thread: Something Comforting in a Pinch

This is also called, "Twenty Minute Dessert" by renowned Mennonite cookbook author, Edna Staebler:

Caramel Dumplings

I double this recipe regularly. It is a wonderful go-to on a chilly night when something warm and sweet would do the trick! My husband loves it.


Sauce:
1½ cups brown sugar
2 cups boiling water
2 tbsp butter

Stir all together in a pot until sugar has dissolved. Add butter and simmer while you mix the dumplings.

Dumplings:
½ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1½ cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
½ cup milk

Cream butter, salt and sugar; add sifted flour and baking powder alternately with milk to make a stiff batter. Drop by tablespoonsful into boiling sauce. Cover and let boil GENTLY for about 15 minutes. Serve with or without whipped cream. (Personally, it doesn't need anything!)

I like easy and delicious, going to have to try this. :)
