Ingredients for Baked Golden Syrup Dumplings

  • Self Raising Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for the dough) + 1 tablespoon butter (for the syrup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Sugar
  • 1/2 cup golden syrup

How to Make Baked Golden Syrup Dumplings

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
  4. Gradually add 3/4 cup milk to the beaten egg, whisking until combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup golden syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  7. Grease a pie dish or oven-safe dish.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the prepared dish.
  9. Pour the golden syrup mixture evenly over the dumplings.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Serve warm with your favorite custard, cream, or ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
