Golden syrup dumplings

Golden syrup dumplings are a traditional dessert known for their rich and sweet flavor. This comforting dish, made with simple ingredients like butter, flour, and maple syrup, can be quickly prepared and is perfect for any occasion. Follow this easy recipe to make your own batch of delightful golden syrup dumplings.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
2 cups water
500g
1 cup maple syrup
230g
1 cup brown sugar
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream the softened butter until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the self-raising flour to the butter and mix until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Beat the egg separately and then add it to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Stir in the light sour cream until the batter is well mixed and smooth. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Syrup:
- In a large, deep saucepan, combine the water, maple syrup, and brown sugar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture begins to simmer.
3. Form and Cook the Dumplings:
- Using a spoon or your hands, form small balls of dough, roughly the size of walnuts.
- Carefully drop each dumpling into the simmering syrup, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart as they will expand while cooking.
4. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the dumplings simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure they are not sticking to the bottom and are cooking evenly. They should become light, fluffy, and well-coated in the syrup.
5. Serve:
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, turn off the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the golden syrup dumplings warm, spooning some of the syrup over each serving for extra sweetness.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing it with the flour to create a smooth dough.

- When combining the sour cream and the egg, make sure they are well-blended for a consistent texture in the dumplings.

- Maintain a gentle simmer while cooking the dumplings to ensure they cook evenly without falling apart.

- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the syrup mixture.

- Serve the dumplings hot, paired with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert experience.

Golden syrup dumplings are a delightful treat that combines the richness of maple syrup and the sweetness of brown sugar. Served warm, they make an irresistible dessert that is sure to please your taste buds.
