| Comments: This is a recipe I found in an Austrailian cookbook, and I thought these sweet dumplings sounded and looked so good, that I would put the recipe on my website. They are definitely a "comfort" food. Great on a chilly winter's day. Try these little goodies for breakfast, or as a snack in between meals. They go very well with coffee, tea or a cup of hot cocoa......Diana |
Ingredients:  For The Dough: 1 cup self-rising flour 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 large egg 1 tbsp. milk For The Golden Syrup: 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tbsp. golden syrup (light corn syrup, maple syrup or light treacle syrup may be substituted for the golden syrup) Juice from 1 lemon |
| Instructions: Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture is fine and crumbly, and make a well in the center. Using a flatbladed knife, stir the combined egg and milk into the flour mixture to form a soft dough. To make the syrup, put 2 cups water in a large pan with the sugar, butter, golden syrup (or use Light Corn Syrup, Maple Syrup, or Light Treacle Syrup) and lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until combined and the sugar has dissolved. Bring syrup to a boil, then gently drop dough by tablespoons into the syrup. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. Spoon dumplings onto serving plates and drizzle with the syrup. Serve the warm dumplings immediately. If desired, serve with whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Makes 4 servings. |

Light, airy, little puffs of golden sweetness nestling in a puddle of sticky, gooey, amber liquid with a hint of butteryness just peeping through. Delightful.

This recipe didn't turn out too great for me, the lemon was far too dominant. I'm sure it has potential though so don't let me put you off.

Excellent recipe although just a little less lemon. I remember these little treats when I was a child (now almost 60). It is certainly worth trying especially for children.

Since so many of you stated that the amount of the lemon juice called for in this recipe is "too much", I have changed the amount to "juice of 1 lemon" instead of 1/4 cup.......Diana

This treat is wonderfully delicious. It's absolutely the best dessert ever. It would be great for a business meeting or a school project.

This recipe works treat. The result was better than Grandma's old recipe. Don't use that much lemon juice though or it will seriously overpower. Make sure not to over mix the dough and your dumplings will be nice and fluffy like mine were. Yum. And it put my Girlfiend in a happy mood too.

My dumplings did not look like the picture at all! They were much larger (there were ten of them) and much paler. The syrup and the dumplings themselves were almost yellow...nothing close to the color of the picture. But they tasted wonderful, i'm just a little baffled as to why they look nothing like the picture. They are however a very tasty treat
