Golden Syrup Dumplings Egg Free Recipes

GOLDEN SYRUP DUMPLINGS (EGG FREE)

Steps:

• To make the dumplings: Rub the flour and butter together in a large bowl (a small bowl makes lots of mess on your counter).
• Add the syrup and enough milk to make a soft dough.
• Use floured hands to grab cherry sized portions and roll into a ball.
• Place on a floured plate and cover with cling wrap and pop in the fridge (can be done upto 8 hours ahead of time).
• For the sauce:.
• In a medium saucepan (I have 4 kids, so my medium is a good size) add the first 3 ingredients, stir and bring to the boil.
• Carefully drop the dumplings in, a single layer only.
• Boil uncovered for 7-10 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for done-ness, they should resemble a scone inside.
• If over cooked they loose al lightness and go stodgy - so timing is everything! Don't walk away while boiling the dumplings.
• Serve with either whipped cream and/or ice-cream.
• Left over sauce makes a great ice-cream topping.
• Please note - I often make double, due to guests OR a long day with swimming/basketball or other sport events due to 3 sons.
