Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Potato Dumplings with Walnut Coating.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, unroll the crescent rolls and lay them out flat on a clean surface, ready for some delicious assembly.
Step 3
Next, take each sweet potato patty and slice it in half.
Step 4
Grab one half and wrap it snugly in a crescent roll, gently stretching the dough to ensure the patty is completely covered.
Step 5
Repeat this delightful process with the rest of your sweet potato patties and crescent rolls, creating little bundles of joy.
Step 6
Now, let’s add some crunch! Place the finely chopped walnuts on a plate and dip each dumpling into the walnuts, pressing down lightly to coat the top.
Step 7
Arrange these nutty dumplings in a 9x12-inch glass baking dish, making sure the nut-side is facing up for that perfect golden finish.
Step 8
In a heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, margarine, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Step 9
Cook this sweet mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and margarine melt together beautifully, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 10
Once your sauce is ready, pour it generously over the dumplings in the baking dish, letting it soak in all that flavor.
Step 11
Now it’s time to bake! Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dumplings are bubbling and have turned a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait, but trust me, the deliciousness will be worth it! Enjoy your delightful creation!.
