30 minWhen you want something sweet, warm, and comforting but don’t want to heat up the whole kitchen, these microwave citrus dumplings are your answer.
A quick sauce of orange juice, mandarin segments, and cinnamon thickens into a glossy citrus base, and then fluffy Bisquick dumplings get dropped right on top to steam until they’re pillowy and set.
A final sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top seals the deal.
This recipe makes just two servings, so it’s ideal for a quiet weeknight treat or a cozy dessert for two.
Kitchen Tips
- Stir the orange juice mixture every 30 seconds while it thickens. Microwave hot spots can cause uneven cooking.
- Don’t overmix the dumpling batter. A few lumps are fine and keep the dumplings light.
- Let it rest for a minute after cooking. The dumplings firm up slightly and the sauce settles.
