Every year we have a Derby Breakfast at work. Everyone brings in food or contributes money to the food. Our unit is responsible for breads and pastries. So, I am making my Granny's Caramel Dumplings. Granny was born in 1907 and this was her mama's recipe -- it's an oldie, but a goodie. A very southern dessert/bread recipe.
Enjoy.
Sauce:
2 1/2 cups of brown sugar
1 cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups of boiling water
2 tsp of butter
Combine ingredients in a 9 x 13 baking pan and work it until all sugar is dissolved and it begins to become thick. (Stir, Stir, Stir)
Dumplings:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweet milk (to all non-southerners, this is just milk)
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 tablespoons of melted butter
Combine ingredients (will be like a cookie dough). Spoon dumplings into sauce. Granny said to not let the dumplings touch. Bake at 350 about an hour.
Yum, Yum Yum. Add a big glass of milk when you are eating this, it is very rich and sweet.
