Dumplings are a quick fix for those rainy — or just plain lazy — days. It’s doughy, soft like a cloud and drenched in a sweet syrup — magic in a bowl. And speaking of bowls, you would be tempted to lick yours clean afterwards!

This delicious dessert (or sweet breakfast treat!) starts with a basic dumpling batter. Just stir together the ingredients, then cook them in boiling water n the stovetop until they become fluffy all the way through.
After each batch, use a slotted spoon to drain and transfer to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil to help keep the dumplings warm.
Melt the butter, sugar and apricot jam (optional) just before serving and drizzle over your dumpling feast.
