Golden Syrup Dumplings

Step 1

Place the water, sugar, golden syrup, and butter in the Dutch oven then slowly bring to a simmer while you make the dumplings.

Step 2

Rub the butter into the flour.

Step 3

Stir in the egg and enough milk to create a stiff dough. Add the milk in small additions so the dough doesn’t become too stiff and tacky.

Step 4

Roll the dough into the portion size of your choice, about seven pieces.

Step 5

Place the dough balls into the simmering syrup. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step 6

Serve hot with cream, custard, sweetened soft cheese, or custard to balance.
