Easy Golden Syrup Dumplings | Winter Dessert Recipe

These super easy golden syrup dumplings are sure to become a family favourite! Serve hot with a big scoop of ice-cream for the perfect dessert.

When the weather is cold outside, nothing… and I mean NOTHING beats a big bowl of hot golden syrup dumplings. They’re the perfect answer to the winter blues.

Now I do have to apologise that it’s taken me so long to put my golden syrup dumplings recipe up. Things have just been crazy busy!!!! But it’s finally here (and I hope the deliciousness makes up for the lateness).

So tell me… did you grow up eating these delicious little bites too? I’m pretty sure they’re every grandma’s favourite recipe – and it’s no wonder. Golden syrup dumplings are the dessert-bomb. They’re easy, cheap to make and use hardly any ingredients. I’m talking self-raising flour, milk, butter, golden syrup, water and brown sugar. That. is. all! Have you got those things in your cupboard and fridge right now?? Well, yay! Let’s get started.

To make the golden syrup dumplings, you simply mix together the self-raising flour and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk and golden syrup and mix until you have a thick paste. Meanwhile, bring the water, brown sugar, butter and golden syrup to the boil in a saucepan, decrease to a simmer and drop in spoonfuls of the mixture. Bring the liquid back to a simmer, cover and leave to cook for around 15 minutes (or until the dumplings are cooked through). Serve the dumplings with the remaining sauce and a massive scoop (or 3) of ice cream. I personally recommend salted caramel ice cream, but go wherever your cravings take you.

Whether golden syrup dumplings are your all-time favourite dessert, or you’ve never tried them before, pinky promise me you’ll whip up a batch this week. Or even better… tonight!!!!
