Dumpling makes money dance (9)
I believe the answer is:
doughball
'dumpling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money dance' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'dough' (dough can informally mean money).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'dough'+'ball'='DOUGHBALL'
'makes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for doughball that I've seen before include "snack" , "Dumpling" .)
