Steve'S Peach Dumplings
Sweet peach dumplings with a flaky dough, cinnamon, and sugar, perfect for a comforting dessert or special treat that highlights fruity flavors and warm spices.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to form a dough.
- Add enough milk to the mixture to make a stiff dough similar to pie crust.
- Roll out the dough, place peaches on it, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll up the dough with peaches inside, cut into individual dumplings, and place them in a pan.
- Pour dressing over the dumplings and bake or cook until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
Ensure the dough is not too wet; add milk gradually until you reach a stiff consistency. For a twist, consider substituting peaches with other fruits like plums or apples, or even try adding a hint of vanilla to the dough. If you're short on time, pre-made pastry can also be used instead of making dough from scratch, but it may alter the flavor slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these peach dumplings warm, drizzled with a bit of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a sweet dessert wine. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a light salad or a cheese platter to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover dumplings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a quick option, though this may make the dough softer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dumplings. This makes it convenient if fresh peaches are out of season.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine. This will provide a similar richness without the dairy, making it suitable for vegan diets.
How do I know when the dumplings are done baking?
The dumplings are done when they turn a lovely golden brown on top and are firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean if they are fully cooked. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
