Indulge in the sweet and comforting delight of caramel dumplings, a classic dessert that boasts gooey caramel sauce enveloping soft, fluffy dumplings. Perfect for a cozy night in or as a crowd-pleasing finish to a meal, this recipe is simple yet irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Add 2 tbsp of melted butter, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup of milk to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined, ensuring not to over-mix the batter. The mixture should be thick but smooth.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the simmering caramel sauce. Space them out evenly to allow room for the dumplings to expand.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings cook evenly.
- Once the dumplings are cooked through and puffed up, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Serve the caramel dumplings warm, spooning some of the caramel sauce over each serving.
Tips:
- Use cold butter when mixing the dough to ensure the dumplings stay fluffy.
- For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Serve the dumplings warm for the best taste and texture.
- To add a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the dumplings before serving.
- If the caramel sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of milk or cream.
Whether served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoyed on their own, caramel dumplings are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Their rich caramel flavor combined with the tender dumplings makes for an unforgettable treat.
