4.	Mix together the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
5.	Cut in the butter until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
6.	Add the milk and caramel sauce to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture forms a soft dough.
7.	Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown. Serve warm with extra caramel sauce on top.
