Steamed Lemon Dumplings

Make on Fresco
Makes approx 20 dumplings Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 20 minutes   Rated:

I love a good dumpling. My mum used to make sticky warm, comforting dumplings as a winter treat. There is nothing better when the weather is cold than to hold a warm bowl of goodness close as you inhale it's lemony fragrance...Of course, better with lashings of cream (what isn't) and/or ice cream.

If you are across the whole doTERRA thing then add lemon oil to the tune of at least 10 drops to the sauce mix, but at the end after the steaming is complete, but before serving.

This recipe appears in Varoma Therapy, my cookbook that is full of steamy goodness. If you are not using your Varoma as much as you would like, that is the book to get into your library ASAP.
