Sweet Potato Dumplings
These easy sweet potato dumplings are great if you are looking for a side dish that's a little different or you can top with vanilla ice cream for a wonderful dessert!
I first tried these wonderful little bundles or deliciousness at my daughters house. The recipe was given to her by her mother-in-law who has introduced me to several new recipes that are nothing short of amazing! She has a wonderful cranberry relish and a rice dish that for the life of me I can't remember what it's called but the flavor is so very good, but I digress...we'll get to those later (LOL). If you want to impress your guests, these sweet potato crescent rolls are easy to make and won't disappoint! You can even use frozen peaches or fresh apples in place of the sweet potatoes if you want.
Here's what you are going to need:
1 (8-count) roll of crescent rolls
4 frozen sweet potato patties
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
6 Tablespoons of butter
1/2 tablespoon of Cornstarch
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Cinnamon for sprinkling on top
Don't forget the coupon!
Here's what you need to do to make these Sweet Potato Dumplings:
Preheat oven to 350° F.
You are only going to need 4 of these patties so just put the rest in the freezer for next time. Once you taste these sweet potato dumplings, you'll know that there will definitely be a "next time".
Cut each patty in half.
Open and unroll the crescent rolls.
Separate the triangles. Place each sweet potato patty on the wide end of each triangle.
As you roll up each sweet potato half in the crescent roll, tuck the ends in. They don't have to be perfect, they don't have to be sealed so it's okay if the sweet potatoes aren't completely covered.
After you finish rolling them up, place in an 8"x8" glass baking dish with the pointy end of the crescent roll facing down. If you are doubling this recipe, use a 9"x13" glass baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well. Add the butter.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the sugar mixture over the dumplings.
Sprinkle with cinnamon. I like a lot of cinnamon on mine.
Bake in the preheated 350° F oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
