Nanna's Golden Dumplings
Serves around 6 (in our household).
For the dumplings
- 2 cups
self-raising flour (300g) - 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (30g)
- 2 tbsp butter (40g)
For the sauce
- 2 cups water (470g)
- 1 cup sugar (250g)
- 2 tbsp butter (40g)
- 2 tbsp golden syrup (50g)
- pinch salt
- Set the oven to 160C/320F
- Rub the flour and butter together until they resemble breadcrumbs
- Mix through the milk and egg and roll into golf ball sized balls, then place into a baking dish (mine is 23x33 cms/9x13 inches but yours doesn't need to be exactly this size)
- In a saucepan, melt together the water, sugar, butter, golden syrup and salt until it just boils
- Pour over the dumplings and bake until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes
Notes
Serve hot, with vanilla ice cream or custard.
