Dumplings for dessert? What a marvelous idea! I couldn't find Canadian maple syrup, so I used Michigan pure maple (please forgive). I made half the recipe and it was fabulous. Since the syrup is a bit expensive, I'll be saving this recipe for special occasions. Thanks for sharing Raelene. Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.
