The combination of juicy berries and buttery pastry is nothing short of indulgent, especially when they’re baked in a rich homemade sauce. We’ve used fresh berries in this recipe, but you could use frozen in the off season, just make sure to thaw and drain them before assembling the dumplings.
Another important note: Take care to pour the soda around the dumplings and not on top of the dough so the tops stay nice and crispy. The mix of the butter sauce and soda will bubble up when first added, and then bake into caramel-y perfection.
These dumplings make for a show stopping dessert any time of year, but feel extra festive in the spring and summer months. If you’re feeling indulgent, you could even serve these at brunch for a sweet treat. No matter the occasion, these Strawberry Dumplings are sure to be a hit. Give them a try and we’re sure you’ll agree!
