Golden Syrup Dumplings

Ingredients:

Dumplings

1 1/2 cups self raising flour

50 g cold butter

1/3 cup golden syrup

1/3 cup milk

Syrup

30g butter

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup golden syrup

2 tb lemon juice

Method:

In a small bowl mix the milk and golden syrup together.

In a food processor add flour, butter and blitz until all the butter is well combined into the flour - it should resemble wet sand. gradually add the milk and golden syrup to the flour and whizz until it becomes a dough.

Remove dough from food processor and roll into balls about the size of a ping-pong ball.
In a saucepan add all ingredients together ad bring to a steady boil....

...then turn down to a steady low simmer..
Add the dumplings, giving enough room for them to expand about 20% and cook for 15-20 minutes. I did mine in 2 batches in a 20cm saucepan - you may like to do it all at once in larger saucepan or frypan.
The sauce will thicken into a syrup during cooking time.
Serve with icecream or cream, sprinkle with cinnamon if you like... I just like them plain.
