Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, place 1 cup self-raising flour.
- Using your fingertips, rub in 2 tablespoons of butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg with a fork.
- Add the beaten egg to the flour mixture and gently stir with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you may add a little bit of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1 ½ cups water.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon and add it to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
- While the syrup is heating, take small spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
- Continue until all the dough is used.
- Once the syrup is boiling, gently drop the dough balls into the syrup.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the dumplings to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into a dumpling; it should come out clean.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the dumplings to serving bowls, and then ladle some of the syrup over the top of each serving.
- Serve the golden syrup dumplings hot, with a dollop of cream or ice cream if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately to ensure the best results.
- Mix the dough gently to avoid overworking, which can make the dumplings tough.
- Use a good quality maple syrup for the best flavor.
- Be gentle when adding the dumplings to the syrup to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Cook the dumplings on a low to medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the syrup.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the syrup for extra freshness and a subtle tang.
Once you have cooked the dumplings to perfection, serve them warm with a drizzle of extra syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These golden syrup dumplings are sure to impress your family and friends, making it a delightful end to any meal. Enjoy the perfect blend of sweet and zesty flavors in each bite!
