Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 pint (about 2 cups) strawberries, hulled and rinsed
1 tablespoon sugar
Directions
In a
saucepan, combine 1/3 cup sugar and the water; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a
medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, the 2 tablespoons sugar, the
baking powder, and salt. Cut
in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly. Add
milk and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Place
strawberries in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish; pour hot sugar mixture
over strawberries. Immediately drop dough evenly in 8 to 10 spoonfuls
over strawberries. Sprinkle dumplings with the remaining 1 tablespoon
of sugar (and a little cinnamon, if desired). Bake at 450° for 25 to
30 minutes, or until dumplings are lightly browned. Serve hot with
whipped topping or ice cream, if desired. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
