Ingredients
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 25 g soft brown sugar
- 50 g butter
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- ½ cup (125 ml) milk
- Thickened cream or ice-cream, to serve
For the simmering sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 100 ml golden syrup
- 50 g butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter and salt. Rub the mixture together with your fingers, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk to the bowl, then mix to a soft dough.
- Heat the ingredients for the simmering sauce with 2 cups (500 ml) water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then drop in rounded tablespoons of the prepared dough. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the maple syrup dumplings with a little syrup and thickened cream or ice-cream on the side.
