Ingredients
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Margarine or butter
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cup Bisquick Original or Reduced
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar begins to melt.
  2. 2
    Continue stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and turns into a light amber caramel.
  3. 3
    Carefully add the butter, the remaining 1 cup of sugar, and the water to the pot. The mixture will bubble vigorously and may harden temporarily; this is normal.
  4. 4
    Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. 5
    Bring the syrup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    While the syrup simmers, mix the Bisquick with 2/3 cup of milk in a separate bowl until a soft dough or thick batter forms.
  7. 7
    Once the syrup is boiling gently, drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls directly into the pot.
  8. 8
    Cover the pot tightly with a lid to trap the steam.
  9. 9
    Reduce the heat to low and let the dumplings cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Do not remove the lid during cooking to ensure they steam properly.
  10. 10
    Serve the dumplings warm, spooned into bowls with plenty of the caramel syrup, optionally topped with whipped cream.
