Amish Peach Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups hot water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups sliced peeled peaches
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Preparation

Stir water, sugar, and butter together in a pot over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture has a syrupy texture, 5 to 10 minutes. Add peaches to syrup; bring to a boil.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk into flour mixture until a stiff batter forms.
Drop batter by large spoonfuls into boiling peach syrup; cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to medium, and cook until dumplings are set, about 20 minutes.
