Grandpere dans le Sirop

Recipe View Prepare the Syrup: In a large, deep saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Cover the saucepan to keep the syrup warm while you prepare the dumpling batter. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Make the Dumpling Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (Estimated time: 7 minutes)

Recipe View Add the Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract all at once. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Simmer the Dumplings: Return the brown sugar syrup to a full boil over medium heat. Drop large spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering syrup. Work quickly to distribute the dumplings evenly in the pot. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Cook the Grandperes: Cover the saucepan tightly and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, without lifting the lid, for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the largest dumpling comes out clean. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View Serve: Serve warm, spooning the dumplings and syrup into bowls. Enjoy!
