Golden syrup dumplings are a classic comfort food dessert, featuring fluffy dumplings cooked in a rich, sweet syrup. This recipe perfectly balances the warm, sugary satisfaction with just the right amount of texture, making it an ideal end to any hearty meal.
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.
Golden syrup dumplings are an easy and delightful dessert that brings nostalgia and comfort with every bite. Following these tips will ensure your dumplings turn out perfect every time. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness with loved ones, and make cherished memories around the dessert table.
