Instructions

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
2. Add the beaten egg, then the milk little by little to form a soft dough, without overworking it.
3. Make the syrup: in a saucepan, melt the brown sugar, butter and water over medium heat for 5 minutes, then keep warm.
4. Shape the dough into balls about 5 cm across and drop them into the simmering syrup.
5. Cover and cook for 20 minutes over low heat, without stirring, until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
6. Dust with cinnamon and serve warm, with the remaining syrup poured over.
