Golden syrup banana bread dumplings are a delightful fusion of banana bread and a classic British dessert. This recipe combines the rich molasses flavor of brown sugar with the sweetness of bananas and the warmth of cinnamon, offering a comforting treat that's perfect for any occasion. Follow these steps to create a dessert that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, water, and cinnamon stick.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter has melted and the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer while you prepare the dumpling batter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Add the mashed bananas to the flour mixture and gently fold in until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the banana batter into the simmering syrup. Ensure there is enough space between each dumpling to allow for even cooking and expansion.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they have puffed up and are cooked through. Do not lift the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings steam properly.
- Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place them in serving bowls.
- Spoon some of the hot syrup over the dumplings.
- Optionally, you can serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the sweet, comforting flavors of these golden syrup banana bread dumplings.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas.: Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, enhancing the natural sweetness and flavor of the dumplings.
- Measure ingredients accurately.: For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients like flour and sugar to ensure consistency in texture and taste.
- Be gentle with the dough.: Over-mixing the dough can result in tough dumplings. Mix just until the ingredients are combined for the best texture.
- Monitor the simmering syrup.: Keep an eye on the syrup as it simmers to prevent it from burning. Stir occasionally to maintain an even consistency.
- Serve immediately.: These dumplings are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Reheat any leftovers gently to avoid drying them out.
With this golden syrup banana bread dumplings recipe, you have a deliciously unique dessert that's both comforting and full of flavor. The combination of the soft, banana-infused dough and the rich syrup creates a harmony of textures and tastes. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
