Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit dough to create a thin, even surface.
- Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoonful of sweet potato filling onto the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Fold the biscuit in half, enclosing the sweet potato filling, and crimp the edges firmly to seal the dumpling.
- Arrange the filled dumplings in the prepared baking pan, placing about 8 dumplings per side. It’s okay if they overlap slightly.
- In a saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugars are fully dissolved.
- Once the sugar mixture has reached a boil, carefully pour it over the arranged dumplings in the baking pan. The dumplings may initially float, but they will settle as they bake.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the dumplings, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and bubbling with caramelized goodness.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the dumplings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the Sweet Potato Dumplings warm, either as a delightful standalone dessert or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
