This was my great aunt's recipe and it was originally called "Caramel Pudding". Puddings may have evolved into something different from what they were 100 years ago and I didn't want to cause any confusion, so I changed the title to reflect the outcome. This is so easy and really rich. A little bit goes a long way!

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

SYRUP
3

cups boiling water
2

cups brown sugar
2

tablespoons butter
DUMPLINGS
¹⁄₂

cup sugar
1 ¹⁄₂

cups flour
1

tablespoon baking powder
2

tablespoons butter, softened
¹⁄₂

cup milk

DIRECTIONS

Boil the syrup ingredients in a saucepan for 10 minutes.
Blend the dry ingredients together.
Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until grainy[I just pinch everything until it all feels about the same size grains].
Add the milk and stir lightly until mixed.
Pour the syrup into a medium baking dish (9"x9") and drop soup spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the syrup.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
When it is done, flip the dumplings over so the crispy side will soak up more of the yummy stuff.
