Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, and 1/4 cup (55g) of butter.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter has melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Allow the sauce to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and the remaining 1/4 cup (55g) of butter.
- Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring gently with a spoon until you form a soft dough. Be careful not to over-mix; you just want the dough to come together.
- Using your hands or a spoon, divide the dough into small, walnut-sized balls. You should get around 10-12 dumplings from the mixture.
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering syrup mixture.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a skewer into a dumpling; it should come out clean.
- Carefully spoon the dumplings and syrup into serving bowls.
- These are best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side if desired.
Tips:
- Use chilled butter for the dumplings: Ensure that the butter is chilled when rubbing it into the flour, as this helps in creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Do not over-mix the dough: When combining the flour, milk, and butter, mix just until combined to avoid tough dumplings.
- Simmer gently: Keep the heat to a gentle simmer when cooking the dumplings in the syrup. Rapid boiling can cause the dumplings to fall apart.
- Serve immediately: Golden syrup dumplings are best served hot and fresh. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream for an extra indulgent treat.
