Golden Syrup Dumplings- YUM!!
Okay... so remember how I mentioned that I tend to not stick to a particular theme? Well, here is a perfect example of that. Instead of writing about my life or my spiritual journey as a child of God... I just had to share an oldie but a goodie.
The Golden syrup dumplings....OMG!!. As a child this was a staple when it came to a sweet dessert in my home. Now that I have Three children of my own, once again this has become a family fav. They are so easy to make... Without further rambling, I give you the recipe :)
You will need :
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) golden syrup
100gm of butter
1 1/2 cups (225g) self raising flour
3/4 cup (185ml) milk
2 cups of water
Step 1: rub 50g of butter with your fingertips into the 1 1/2 cups of flour. Add milk and One tablespoon of golden syrup. Stir the mixture until well combined. ( I like to use my mixer to thoroughly blend ingredients. Your choice) leave to sit while we prepare the sauce.
Step 2: Combine 2 cups of water, 50g butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup of golden syrup into a large saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted.
Step 3: Bring the sauce to boil and drop in a tablespoon of mixture into the saucepan, until about six are cooking atone time. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer, covered for about 10- 15 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. In total mixture should produce around twelve dumplings.
Step 4: when cooked serve in a bowl with a nice amount of vanilla ice cream.
Happy cooking.
