Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 cup water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla and pour the syrup over the strawberries in a casserole dish.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 cup milk to make biscuit dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the strawberries in the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar on top.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the syrup while it's simmering. If strawberries are out of season, you can substitute with frozen berries, just be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid. To enhance the biscuit flavor, add a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of lemon zest to the dough. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the strawberry dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. They also pair beautifully with breakfast items like Dannon Fat-Free Muffins or can be enjoyed as a sweet brunch treat. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dumplings 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. This will help maintain the dumplings' texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the dumplings are too dry?
If you find your dumplings turn out dry, it may be due to overmixing the biscuit dough. To avoid this, mix just until combined. You can also drizzle a little extra syrup over the dumplings before serving for added moisture and flavor.
