On the table: 25 minutes

20g butter
1 cup self-raising flour, sifted
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
Grated rind of ½ a lemon

1½ cups water

3 tbsps CSR Original Golden Syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
Custard or thick cream, for serving
Method
- Combine butter and flour in food processor and pulse until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, add the apricots and lemon rind. Whisk egg and milk and pour onto the dry ingredients – pulse in food processor to make a soft dough.
- Knead the dough very lightly on a floured surface. Shape into 20 small balls.
- Combine the syrup ingredients in a large saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, add half the dumplings to the hot syrup and cook until dumplings float to surface and expand in size. Approximately 5 mins. Cook remaining and serve with drizzle of golden syrup. Enjoy with custard or cream.
Comments
An easy way to remove golden syrup from the tub is to simply warm a metal spoon over a gas flame and scoop.
TIP: You can use CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze in this recipe, however the flavour will not be as rich.
