Tonight, the last night of my forties, we decided to have dessert for dinner. Debs idea, all her fault. So I cooked up an Australian Speciality...Golden Syrup Dumplings. Dedicated to our resident backpacker, Deborah.
2 cups water
1/2 cup golden syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup self raising flour
30g butter, cubed
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
Heat syrup ingredients in frypan slowly till simmering, ensuring sugar dissolves and it doesn't burn.
Rub butter into the flour till like breadcrums, add egg and milk, and mix gently to a dough. Divide into 8 sections and gently roll into balls. Don't over handle the dough or they get tough.
Drop balls of dough into simmering syrup, simmer 5 minutes, then turn dumplings and simmer 5 minutes more.
Serve with ice cream or cream. Ice cream is better in my opinion.
