This is one of my top 5 favourite all-time eats!! It is so easy and quick to make and utterly, heavenly delicious! The recipe makes 2 dumplings each for 4 people.
Syrup:
125ml golden syrup
190ml brown sugar
40g butter, diced
450ml water
Dumplings:
375ml self-raising flour
a pinch of salt
30g butter
1 egg
100ml milk
30ml golden syrup
For the syrup:
Add the syrup, sugar, butter and water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, give the mixture a stir and leave on a low simmer while you make the dumplings.
For the dumplings:
Add the flour and salt to a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the butter is as evenly distributed as possible.
Add the egg, milk and golden syrup to a bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the mixture into the flour and stir until just combined – do not overmix!
Drop heaped tablespoons of the batter into the simmering syrup and cover with a lid.
Simmer for 7-8 minutes, turn the dumplings over and cook with the lid on for another 5 minutes.
Serve the dumplings with cream, ice cream or as is.
