Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup brown butter (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the melted butter and milk, forming a soft dough.
  2. Form the dumplings: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough into a pot of gently simmering water or broth. Allow the dumplings to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are fully cooked through.
  3. Prepare the brown butter: While the dumplings cook, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Let it cook for a few minutes until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
  4. Serve: Gently transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate. Drizzle the warm brown butter over the dumplings, and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the dough.
  • You can substitute the toasted pecans with walnuts or even candied pecans for a sweeter crunch.
  • These dumplings are perfect for pairing with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • If you’re making these ahead of time, store the dumplings in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
