Mix 1 and 1/4 cups flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

Pour in 1/3 cup of sweetened almond milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until it forms a dough.

In a separate pot, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of brown sugar with a little salt and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the boiling syrup, ensuring it simmers gently.

Cook the dumplings until they are done, ensuring they are not doughy.
