Golden Syrup Dumplings
This recipe was designed specifically to be made with Bakers' Magic gluten free flour. The finished baked product will not be the same if you use another gluten free flour and you will need to adjust the recipe, particularly if the flour you're using contains rice flour.
Ingredients
Dumplings
225 g Bakers' Magic Gluten free flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 Egg
50 g Milk
50 g Golden syrup
100 g Butter
Sauce
500 g Water
100 g Light brown or raw sugar
150 g Butter
200 g Golden syrup
Serves 8
(My son would dispute this serving size)
Method
Put all the sauce ingredients into a wide saucepan. I use a 24 cm diameter stainless steel one.
Place on top of a cooktop on a medium - low heat.
Let it simmer until you are ready to put in the dumplings.
Making the dough
Thermomix
Place all ingredients into the TM bowl.
Mix for 7 secs on speed 4.
Check that the ingredients are all mixed in. If not scrape down the sides.
Mix for another 7 secs on speed 4.
Take dough out of the TM bowl.
By Hand
Mix together the Bakers' Magic Gluten free flour & baking powder.
To make it easier to mix by hand ensure the milk, butter & egg are at room temperature.
Put all ingredients into a bowl.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands combine the ingredients until a uniform dough forms.
Preparing the dumplings
Put the dough on a clean work surface.
Roll it into a sausage shape.
Using a sharp knife cut the sausage into 16 ~ equal portions.
Take one portion cut it in half. Taking one half roll it into a ball between the palms of your hand. Do the same with the other half. Place both on a plate/cutting board.
Repeat for the rest of the dough portions.
Cooking the dumplings
Check the sauce - ensure the butter is completely melted before adding the dumplings.
Turn the heat up so that the sauce is rapidly boiling.
Carefully add the dumplings to the boiling sauce.
Cook for 4 mins.
Serve immediately with cream and/or ice-cream.
