Rub the butter into the flour, baking powder and salt until crumbly.
- 3

Drop spoonfuls into the simmering syrup, leaving space between them.
- 5
Cover tightly and simmer 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 6
Serve the dumplings hot with plenty of syrup spooned over.
Chef's tips
Lifting the lid drops the steam and gives heavy dumplings; trust the timer.
Ingredient substitutions
- maple syrup → brown sugar syrup if maple is unavailable
Storage
Best fresh; reheat leftovers gently in their syrup.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Crowding the pan
- •Boiling hard so the syrup caramelises
