Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 cups Maple syrup
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually stir in the milk to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

In a large, deep saucepan, combine the maple syrup and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering syrup mixture. Space them apart slightly as the dumplings will expand while cooking.

Step 6

Cover the pot tightly with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes without lifting the lid. The steam will help cook the dumplings evenly.

Step 7

After 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and carefully uncover it. Check to ensure the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.

Step 8

Serve the Grandpères warm, ladling extra maple syrup sauce over each serving.
