Golden syrup dumplings are a classic dessert that hails from Australian and New Zealand cuisines. They are rich, scrumptious, and offer a delightful blend of textures. The dumplings are soft and fluffy on the inside, juxtaposed with the gooey, sweet syrup they are cooked in. This recipe will guide you through creating this simple yet indulgent treat, using ingredients that are likely already in your pantry.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and butter. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the light sour cream to the beaten egg and mix until well combined.
- Pour the egg and sour cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a large saucepan, combine the water, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Stir well.
- Bring the syrup mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the syrup has come to a boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
- Using a tablespoon or slightly wet hands to prevent sticking, scoop out small portions of the dough and carefully drop them into the simmering syrup. Continue until all the dough is used, ensuring the dumplings do not touch each other.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and allow the dumplings to cook for about 15-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid too often to let the steam help cook the dumplings thoroughly.
- Once the dumplings are cooked and light, carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to serving bowls.
- Pour the hot syrup over the dumplings generously.
- Serve immediately for a warm, comforting dessert.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is cold when you incorporate it into the flour to create the perfect dumpling texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay as they will help keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
- Stir the syrup mixture gently to avoid breaking the dumplings while they cook.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some ground cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter or syrup mixture.
- If you find the syrup too sweet, balance it with a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Golden syrup dumplings are a comforting, delectable dessert that can be whipped up with minimal effort.
