Amish Peach Dumplings

Ingredients

• 2 cups hot water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups sliced peeled peaches
• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk

Directions

Stir water, sugar, and butter together in a pot over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture has a syrupy texture, 5 to 10 minutes. Add peaches to syrup; bring to a boil.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk into flour mixture until a stiff batter forms.

Drop batter by large spoonfuls into boiling peach syrup; cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to medium, and cook until dumplings are set, about 20 minutes.
