For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the caramel sauce. If you don't have golden syrup, you can substitute it with corn syrup or honey, but the flavor will be slightly different. To test if the dumplings are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're ready. Serve the dumplings warm with a generous drizzle of the caramel sauce. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a delightful addition.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and confectioners' sugar. Create a well in the center. (2 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, beaten egg, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. (1 minute)
03
Step
3 mins
Using a knife or spatula, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Set the dumpling mixture aside. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
In a large, deep saucepan, combine the water, golden syrup, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved. (2 minutes)
05
Step
6 mins
Add the cubed butter to the saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. (5-7 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Carefully drop heaping tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering sauce, spacing them evenly apart. (3 minutes)
07
Step
11 mins
Cover the saucepan tightly and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings have puffed up and are cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid during the first 8 minutes to ensure proper rising. (10-12 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
During the last few minutes of cooking, gently ladle the caramel sauce over the tops of the dumplings to glaze them. (2 minutes)
09
Step
5 mins
Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly. (5 minutes)
