Peach Dumplings With Brandy Cream Recipes

PEACH DUMPLINGS WITH BRANDY CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball; reserve one-third of the pastry. Shape remaining pastry into flattened round on lightly floured surface. With floured rolling pin, roll into 14-inch square; cut into 4 squares. Roll reserved pastry into 14x7-inch rectangle; cut into 2 squares.
• Place 1 peach half, flat side up, on each square. In small bowl, mix raisins and nuts; spoon into center of each peach half. Top with remaining peach halves. Moisten corners of square; bring 2 opposite corners of pastry up over peach and press corners together. Fold in sides of remaining corners; bring corners up over peach and press together. Place dumplings in ungreased 13x9-inch pan.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar and 1 1/3 cups water to boiling, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour around dumplings.
• Bake about 40 minutes, spooning syrup in pan over dumplings about 5 minutes before dumplings are done, until pastry is brown and peaches are tender.
• In 2-quart saucepan, beat egg with wire whisk until foamy. Add whipping cream and granulated sugar; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in brandy. Serve warm over dumplings.

PEACHES AND CREAM DUMPLING

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400.
• For the crust: combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl with a fork.
• Shift flour and salt
• Slowly add butter mixture to the flour. It will be slightly crumbly but will hold together when pressed.
• Take a large muffin pan and press the dough into the bottom and around the sides. Set aside the remaining dough
• For the filling: Cream cheese will need to be at room temperature. With a mixer blend cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add egg, sugar and vanilla. Mix until well combined and fluffy. Set aside.
• Peel, cut peaches in half and pit.
• I use a small scooper to scoop the center out a little larger for the filling. But you can use a spoon as well
• Fill center with filling mixture.
• Put the sides together and place one whole peach into each muffin cup.
• Sprinkle sugar on peach.
• On a floured surface roll out remaining dough.
• Cut the dough to fit the top of the peach to form around the peach.
• Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 min.
• Enjoy.... Yummmmmmmy!!

OLD FASHIONED SUMMER PEACH DUMPLINGS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Roll out the dough into a rectangle so it is about an 1/8 of an inch thick (no more than a 1/4 inch). Cut the dough into 6 squares. On sheet pan lay out your peach halves. If you'd like, you can peel the peaches, but it is not necessary. Sprinkle the sugar and spices evenly over the peaches. Drizzle a few drops of vanilla onto the peaches then add a bit of the butter to the center of each peach half. Now take 2 halves of the peach and close them with the butter, sugar and spices inside. Hold them closed. Place the held closed peach into the center of a dough square. Pull the sides of the dough up around the peach. pinch the dough closed to seal the peach inside. Once the dough is closed, with your hand gently mold the dough so it hugs the peach and stays in shape. If you have extra dough hanging cut it off (you will gather the extra dough scraps and make leaves later). Repeat this with all of the peaches. Heat your oven to 450 degrees. In a baking dish that will fit comfortably all of your peaches gently place your dough covered peaches. Set the baking dish in the fridge while you make the sauce and leaves. The leaves are just cute, leave them off if you are not in the mood for the fuss. In a small saucepan heat the sugar and the butter. When the sugar begins to color swirl the pan to make the sugar color evenly. Be very careful...the sugar is EXTREMELY HOT. This should not be done by, or with, children!!!! When the sugar has taken on a nice amber color add the heavy cream. With a whisk make sure all the sugar is dissolved. Add the brandy, continue to stir. Once you no longer smell alcohol turn the heat down and reduce the sauce (at a simmer) for a couple of minutes. Take the sauce off the heat once its a slightly thickened and add the vanilla, salt and the final tablespoon of butter . Combine with the whisk. You should have a smooth velvety wonderful flavored caramel sauce. This stuff is delicious even without the dumplings!!!!! Now gather your dough scraps and re-roll them so you can cut out leaf shapes to garnish your dumplings. You can make the leaf veins using the back of your knife. Egg wash the dumplings and attach the leaves (I made two leaves per dumpling). Next, sprinkle sanding sugar over the dumplings.Now you will pour the caramel sauce into the pan with the dumplings without pouring the sauce onto the dumplings themselves. This is very important!!! The sauce should go between and around but NOT over or on the dumplings. Bake the dumplings at 450 degrees for about 45 minutes. If they seem to be getting too dark turn the temperature down to 400 for the last 10 minutes or so. Use your judgement on that. Have a platter ready to move the dumplings to when you take the pan out of the oven. The dumplings will need to be moved after they rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to move them. They will be fragile on the bottom. The sauce will be caramelized and thick. Drizzle a little of it over the dumplings or around the sides. Serve while warm, with ice cream if you like.

LADY ROSE'S BRANDY PEACH COBBLER WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. I would prefer using fresh or frozen peaches but during the off season I used canned variety. I used the gallon size to make both the pie and the cobbler. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. These are the canned peaches that I used. I did not use the lemon juice in this recipe because of the Brandy.
• 2. Separate peaches from liquid, cut into thirds and reserve liquid.
• 3. Add enough water to peach liquid to make about 6 cups.
• 4. Combine the dry ingredients together, sugar, salt, nutmeg, flour, & cinnamon
• 5. Break one of the refrigerated dough shells into small pieces to be used as dumplings. Set aside till needed to add to peach liquid.
• 6. Add the dry blend ingredients to the liquid, and stir just until it begins to thicken. Simmer over medium high heat.
• 7. Stir in the dumplings and cook over medium high heat just long enough to prevent them from sticking together about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peaches. Then remove from heat. Add the butter and stir till it melts.
• 8. Then add the vanilla bean paste or extract, butter extract, and Peach brandy in a small cup, stir into liquid mixture.
• 9. Add about a HALF of peach mixture to bottom of a 9 X 13 size baking pan, & top with a pie crust. Place in 375 degrees F. oven and bake for about 15 minutes. THEN REMOVE FROM OVEN. IF YOU WANT TO ADD 4 CRUSTS TO COBBLER, ADD ONE TO BOTTOM OF PAN BEFORE ADDING THE PEACH MIXTURE.
• 10. REMOVE FROM OVEN, and add remaining peach mixture. TOP WITH ADDITIONAL CRUST. Brush top of cobbler with egg wash and then add sparkling sugar crystals. Place cobbler on a larger shallow pan lined with foil to catch any potential drips before adding the last of the cobbler liquid for the oven.
• 11. Return to oven and continue to bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and serve as desired. PLEASE NOTE IF THERE IS TOO MUCH LIQUID OVER THE TOP OF THE CRUST BEFORE BAKING THAT PART WILL NOT GET AS GOLDEN BROWN ON TOP AS THE PART THAT IS NOT COVERED IN LIQUID. So you may want to remove some of the excess liquid BEFORE baking.
