Grannie made the most fantastic dumplings I've ever eaten and after she passed on I got her recipes and this is one that I've revised or updated. It's my favorite too, so hope you enjoy it.
For syrup: Combine 2 cups sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved; bring to boiling and boil uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cover and keep warm.
For dough: Place self-rising flour in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add milk all at once. Stir just until moistened. Knead dough on lightly floured large piece of waxed paper for about 12 strokes, or until nearly smooth. Lightly sprinkle dough with flour. Cover with another large piece of waxed paper. Roll out dough to about a 12x10-inch rectangle {about 1/4-inch thick} Remove the top piece of waxed paper.
For Filling: In a large bowl, toss together the peaches, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon 3 cups of the peaches on top of the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading evenly to form a single layer.Spread the remaining 2 cups of peaches evenly over the dough rectangle. Roll dough into a spiral, starting from a long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut into twelve 1-inch thick rolls. Arrange the rolls, cut side down, over the peaches in the baking dish. Carefully pour syrup around rolls. {This will have the appearance of too much syrup, but the rolls will absorb the liquid during baking}.
Bake in the 350 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Serve warm in dessert dishes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or your choice)

Does anyone have a recipe for peach dumplings that you make on the stove? Growing up in the deep south, we had a neighbor who made the most awesome peach dumplings on her stove. I don't remember much except that I think she used canned peaches and dropped canned biscuits into the boiling peaches on the stove. I remember her sharing this with us when we were kids and would love to make it for my kids! Thanks!
This sounds like something my grandmother made.
You can actually substitute many kinds of fruit. She
always used blueberries and called it Blueberry Slump. Canned or fresh fruit is acceptable.

i also grew up in the south having peach dumplings. matter of fact i'm only seventeen and none of my friends have ever heard of this recipe!!! i could not believe it. but all you have to do is boil 3 cans of peaches, heavy syrup, cup of sugar, and half a stick of margerine.
I have a recipe for peach dumplings and I am still trying to find out where I put it. I do use canned peaches, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir it in a medium saucepan, then I add my homemade dumplings. The problem is I do not remember the measurements. Sorry. I guess it all depends on how sweet you want it and how much of it you are going to make.
I too grew up with a grandmother who made this great treat for us when we were kids.
Thanks for the recipes posted

I was so glad to find this page. I've been looking for a recipe for years for peach dumplings that are made on the stove top. I grew up in the south and my grandmother also made these when I was very young. It was always one of my favorites. Thanks to all of you who have posted the recipes!
I'm glad you asked for this. I used to have the most wonderful recipe and still haven't found it...it used pancake mix but, other than that, was similar. These sound great but will have to do. I wish I hadn't lost my old one.
I use 2 big cans of sliced cling peaches in heavy syrup, 2 cups of water, add some sugar to taste, nutmeg, cinnamon, let simmer. For the dumplings, in a big bowl, I use 2 cups of self rising flour, about a heaping table spoon of butter flavored Crisco, you can add more nutmeg and cinnamon to taste if you like. Mash it up until it looks like a cornmeal consistency, it's okay if it's a little lumpy, add 1 cup cold milk, stir until it's a thick dough, it will be sticky. Bring peaches to a boil, drop dough by spoonfuls until all is gone, do not stir! Cover and reduce heat to a light simmer and let steam for about 10 minutes. Dumplings will be sweet and doughy on the outside and flaky in the middle. I learned this recipe growing up in North Carolina by my father who was raised in Tennessee :) Hope You Enjoy !
