Golden Syrup Dumplings or have you tried Jamlings!

A sweet surprise and a true Nana favourite, Golden syrup dumpling's are as easy as 1, 2, and 3. A budget-friendly dessert the whole family will adore time after time.

This dessert favourite is something I never tire of or mess with, until my friend suggested I try Jamling's!!!

'Jamling's, I retorted.'
'What are Jamling's?'

Curious but not overly impressed by the idea I decided to try this recipe before I could form a complete judgement on the Jamling!

The verdict is still out on this one, sorry mate!
I still prefer the un-adulterated version of the Golden syrup dumpling's best, served with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice-cream, YUM!

Golden Syrup Dumplings or Jamlings (see TIP)!

It will take you: 10 minutes, preparation
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4-6 people

The Ingredients
1 cup (155g) self-raising flour
60g butter, cubed
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
Pure cream or ice-cream to serve

Syrup
30g butter
1 cup (220g) caster sugar or brown sugar
4 tablespoon golden syrup

Let’s have some fun
Add flour to a medium bowl; rub in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg and milk into flour mixture. Combine to form dough, then divide dough evenly into small balls.
To make the syrup, combine the ingredients together with 1 cup of water in a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Carefully add dough balls to syrup and boil for 20 minutes. Serve with syrup, cream & ice cream.

Tips
For Jamling's and an added sweet burst of flavour try these Golden syrup jamling's – Make a small hole with your finger in the center of each dumpling, add ½ teaspoon of your favourite jam to each dumpling, smooth over. Cook as directed.
To balance the sweetness you can add a little lemon juice or zest to the syrup.

Enjoy the beautiful sweet aromas of this yummy dessert whilst its cooking. Just be careful, once the neighbours catch a sneaky whiff of the toffee and caramel like smells they will be hard to restrain!

Enjoy.
