"These are quite fast and definitely delicious."

Sauce:

1/2 cup caramelized sugar
2 T butter
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups hot water

Caramelize the 1/2 cup sugar.  When almost melted, add butter, salt, 1 cup sugar and hot water.  Cool until all sugar lumps are dissolved, about 10 minutes, stirring often.

Dumplings:

2 T butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Cream butter and sugar.  Add dry ingredients alternately with milk.  Add vanilla.  Mix batter well.  Have the sauce hot in a medium deep pan with a cover.  Drop dumplings by spoonfuls into pan of hot sauce.  Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes.  Serve with cream and chopped nuts.
