Condensed milk dumplings FAQ:

What is the cooking time for the dumplings?

Cook the dumplings for about 10-15 minutes after adding them to the gently bubbling syrup. They should puff up and become light and fluffy during this time.

How do I know when the dumplings are done?

The dumplings are done when they have puffed up significantly and have a light, fluffy texture. You can cut one open to check for doneness; it should not be doughy in the center.

Can I make substitutions for the ingredients?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-raising flour, but you'll need to add extra baking powder. Any light syrup can replace maple syrup, and you can use any milk variety in place of 1% fat milk.

How should I store leftover dumplings?

Store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. They can be reheated gently in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk to restore moisture.

Can I freeze the dumplings?

While dumplings can be frozen, it's best to freeze them before cooking. Roll them into balls, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container. You can cook them straight from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold and cut into small cubes before mixing it with the flour for a better texture.

- Do not over-mix the dough; it should come together just enough to form a ball.

- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture.

- Use a spoon to place the dough into the boiling mixture to keep the dumplings uniform in size.

- Keep an eye on the dumplings while they cook to make sure they don't overcook and become too dense.

- Serve the dumplings warm and consider drizzling with a bit of extra maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
