At the end of my last article on Dumplings, Dumplings: My Deep Culinary Secret, I mentioned that I had a tube of cinnamon bun dough and I might give it a try with one of my wonderful soups. The more I thought about this, the more I thought it would be a dumb thought. I would stick with the biscuit and croissant roll dough for soup dumplings.
But what could I do to be clever with cinnamon bun dough?
What would I do with the frosting?
Then last evening as we were watching Stage Door Canteen, (Learn about the star-studded cast of Stage Door Canteen at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036384/), I jumped out of my chair and said UREKA!
I reckon it was Ray Bolger’s dancing that inspired me. He’s the one that played the scarecrow in The Wizard of OZ. Anyway, my wife is use to me jumping form my chair and saying UREKA! She didn’t take her eyes off the TV screen. Who would with Bolger clowning around?
I marked into the kitchen, dropped two quarts of bottled peaches from Costco® into a pan, got them boiling as I dropped in about a cup of brown sugar, plopped the cinnamon roll dough patties onto the top, boiled them for ten minutes, place on the lid for a further ten minutes of boiling (turn the burner down, silly!), let the pot cool for a few minutes, scooped out peaches and the wonderful cinnamon dumplings into two bowls, dropped a spoon of frosting (waste not, want not) on top of the cinnamon dumplings, and paraded into the living room.
My wife said, “I can’t eat that this late at night. Besides, it’s too hot. Place it there!”
Starting with small spoonfuls because it was too hot, I advanced to larger spoonfuls, then to a further bowl. Wow! Wow!
About midnight I woke from a humongous nightmare. I was on a sugar high you wouldn’t judge.
Wow again!
I’d done it! I’d done it!
Peach Dumplings!
The End
