Tips & Tricks for the Ultimate Maple Syrup Dumplings with Réduit à l’érable LÉO 🍁🔥
✅ Get the syrup just right – The syrup is the heart of this recipe, so balance it well!
- If you prefer a lighter, less sweet syrup, add a bit more water.
- For a bolder, richer syrup, increase the amount of Réduit à l’érable LÉO for extra depth and aroma.
✅ Don’t overmix the dough! – Once you add the milk and maple reduction, mix just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Overmixing = dense, heavy dumplings. Keep it light and airy!
✅ Fluffy, pillowy dumplings – Want that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture?
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh—old baking powder won’t make the dumplings rise properly.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before dropping it into the syrup for a fluffier texture.
✅ How to drop the dough in the syrup properly –
- Gently drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering syrup—don’t press them down!
- They’ll naturally puff up as they absorb the syrup.
✅ Let the dumplings soak up all that maple goodness –
🔥 Spoon the syrup over them during cooking to make them even more flavorful.
⏳ Don’t lift the lid too often—the steam helps them rise and stay soft!
✅ The secret to extra melt-in-your-mouth texture – Swap ¼ cup of all-purpose flour for pastry flour to make the dumplings even lighter.
✅ Want to take them up a notch? Add these extras!
🥜 Toasted pecans – A little crunch makes a big difference.
🥃 A splash of whisky or rum – For an extra depth of flavor.
🌿 A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg – Adds warmth and spice to the syrup.
✅ Storage & Reheating –
❄️ Not recommended for freezing – The texture will get too mushy.
🔥 Reheat in the microwave with a little extra syrup to keep them soft and moist.
With these tips, your Maple Syrup Dumplings with Réduit à l’érable LÉO will be next-level delicious! Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle extra syrup on top, and get ready for a dessert that’s downright irresistible. 🤤🔥🍁

Preparation
- In a large saucepan, add the ingredients for the syrup and mix. Heat over medium heat and set aside. Reduce heat if mixture starts to boil.
- In a large bowl, add flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt and mix with a whisk to break up the brown sugar.
- Add the soft butter and mix with your hands to break up the butter and obtain a grainy texture.
- Add milk and the réduit and with a spoon, mix just enough to moisten the dry ingredients.
- Drop balls of pasta into the syrup, one large tablespoon at a time, and drizzle with syrup.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, basting the grandfathers from time to time. Serve immediately, accompanied by vanilla ice cream and drizzle with syrup from the pan!
This usually happens if the dough is overmixed. For light, fluffy dumplings:
✔️ Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened—don’t overdo it!
✔️ Make sure your baking powder is fresh—old baking powder won’t help them rise.
✔️ Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
Yes! Replace the Réduit à l’érable LÉO with:
🍁 Pure maple syrup – To maintain the full maple flavor.
🍏 Unsweetened apple juice – Adds a light, fruity touch.
🍋 A splash of lemon juice – Helps balance the sweetness.
🔥 A scoop of vanilla ice cream – The contrast between warm and cold is perfect!
🍫 A drizzle of melted chocolate – Because, why not?
🥜 Toasted pecans – For a bit of crunch.
🥃 A side of Réduit à l’érable LÉO as a shot – Just for fun. 😏
