Notes

You can easily halve the recipe for fewer dumplings. Add just enough soda pop so that the tops of the dumplings are dry.

Mountain Dew, 7-up, ginger ale or apple juice can be used in place of Sprite.

Don't pour Sprite directly over the dumplings as they may get soggy.

Sprinkle some white sugar over the dumplings after they are done baking for extra sparkle, if desired.
