🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/4 cups self-raising flour and a pinch of salt.

Add 30 grams of butter and 1/3 cup of white sugar to the mixture.

Use a mixer to combine the butter and dry ingredients until crumbly.

In a saucepan, combine 1 and 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar, 1 and 1/2 cups water, and 30 grams of butter; bring to a gentle boil.

Once the sauce is boiling, return to the flour mixture and add 1/3 cup of milk.

Mix until a soft dough forms.

Roll the dough into balls of desired size; larger balls will take about 15 minutes to cook.

Drop the dough balls into the boiling sauce.

Cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes until the dumplings puff up and absorb the sauce.
