Grand Peres Quebec Style Maple Syrup Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Bring syrup and water to a boil in a 6 qt Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• While the syrup/water is rising to a boil, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Grate butter on large holes of a box grater into flour and toss to coat. Add milk and stir with a fork until dough forms.
• When syrup mixture reaches a boil, use a spoon to drop large clumps of dough into syrup.
• Cover pot and simmer until dumplings are cooked through (10-15 minutes). Spoon dumplings and sauce into 6 bowls and serve.

Steps:

• DOUGH: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Add butter to dry ingredients and work until the mixture resembles coarse sand using fingers, pastry cutter or a couple of knives.
• Add milk a little at a time until the dough comes together. Add vanilla extract, stir and set aside.
• MAPLE SAUCE: In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add butter, water, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
• By the tablespoon, drop the dough balls one by one into the simmering sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 14 minutes. Halfway, spoon the sauce over the dumplings.
• Scoop up a hot dumpling into a serving bowl, spoon sauce over and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the milk and vanilla, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough is smooth.
• Place the syrup and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Using two spoons or a moistened ice cream scoop, shape the dough into about 12 balls; use about 30 ml (2 tablespoons) for each ball. Drop the balls one by one into the boiling syrup mixture.
• Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with the hot syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Note: The butter coats the flour, inhibiting gluten formation and giving the dumplings a crumbly texture. A similar effect happens with scones.

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Rub in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Add milk and mix until a smooth dough forms.
• Combine maple syrup and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Scoop dough into dumplings using an ice cream scoop and drop gently into the boiling syrup. Reduce heat to low and simmer, keeping saucepan covered, until dumplings are cooked but not gooey and syrup has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and nutmeg into a bowl. Blend in butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir with a fork just until dough is evenly moistened (do not overmix).
• Bring syrup and water to a boil in a 4-quart pot at least 10 inches wide. Drop 8 1/2-cup measures of dough into syrup, leaving spaces to allow dumplings to expand. Gently simmer over moderately low heat, covered, until tops of dumplings are dry to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preparation of the grandfathers : Mix sugar, baking powder, salt and flour. Incorporate shortening. Add milk and mix until the dough is homogeneous.
• Syrup preparation : In a big casserole, bring to boil the maple syrup and water. With an ice cream spoon, do balls with the dough and put in the casserole. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes but don't remove the cover during the cooking time.
