Instructions
Step 1
Bring syrup and 1 1⁄4 cups water to a boil in a 6-qt. Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Grate butter on large holes of a box grater into flour and toss to coat; add milk and stir with a fork until dough forms.

Spoon dumplings and sauce into 6 bowls and serve.
