Title: Golden Syrup Dumplings
Post by: www.Tick of Yum.webs.com on March 16, 2011, 12:47:22 am
Golden Syrup Dumplings:
serves 4-6 depending on how hungry they are LOL:

In the Thermomix bowl put...
- 130g of SR flour,
- 1 egg,
- 20g of butter, and
- 20g of milk.
Mix on speed 4 for 10-15 seconds.  It should have formed a nice, slightly sticky dough.  (If very sticky, put a little more flour in and mix again on speed 3 for 10 seconds)

Take out the dough and put onto a board.  There should be some dough left in the bowl, stuck around the blades etc.  If your dough came out smoothly, leaving nothing - put a teaspoon's worth of the dough back in the bowl (to thicken the syrup). Maybe need to give it a whizz first to make sure all left over dough is taken up with the liquid.

Roll the remaining dough out into a rough sausage shape and cut into 4.  Then roll each of those out and cut into 3 pieces.  Roll each of these smaller pieces into a ball and put on the top tray on the Varoma, put aside.

In the Thermomix bowl add
- 500g of water,
- 120g of sugar,
- 30g golden syrup and
- 10g of butter.

Put the lid on the Thermomix and the varoma in place. Cook for 20 minutes on Varoma temperature/speed 4.

(put some hot water in thermoserver to warm it up - remember to tip it out before putting dumplings in LOL)

Place the dumplings into the warmed thermoserver and pour the syrup over the top.  Let it sit at least 5 minutes.  Longer if you like them soggy :-)

Sharon1 - yum!  I didn't have any golden syrup here..so used honey, and brown sugar instead..with a dash of maple syrup for luck!
Only thing I would like to change is to perhaps thicken the syrup a bit more...but a hit with my family - thanks for the recipe!

em - I made this the other night for desert and it was yummy, I actually steamed the dumplings in the steamer basket and they soaked up some of the syrup while they cooked. All I can say is yum yum!

amberdonnelly - They were delicious and the best I have ever made! Definitely one I will cook again!

dede - Made these tonight. I was never a fan of dumplings (of any sort) from a child I didn't like them and never tried them again until tonight. And shock horror I actually enjoyed them (as did the rest of the family) except the two youngest who choose not to try them because they looked like balls of potato mash lol. These were so easy to make and very tasty. 5/5 from us

Bubbles - Made these last night and they were delicious. The sauce was a lot runnier than the version my mum used to make when I was little, would adding a couple of teaspoons of cornflour to the sauce with two minutes to go make it thicker? I  might try that next time.

Haha! Yeah - I love making these in TMX too but haven't had any since we watched 'The Biggest Loser' and saw that was how the Westrens put all their weight on.  :o LOL!  ;)

What speed am I meant to put it on when cooking? I have put it on 1. Is that ok?

Amber, I have just checked the Full Steam Ahead cookbook and both dumpling recipes I looked at were cooked on Speed 1.

Speed 1 is fine. If you check FSA they steam on speed 1.  ;)

Hey JD - you must have commented while I was looking at my FSA!!!!  :D

Thanks for the tips girls, I thought it would be ok for the steaming but was unsure if it was ok for the syrup in the bowl. In the end it burnt slightly because of the leftover dough in there. Unsure if there is anything I can do to prevent this. They were still delicious and the best I have ever made! Definately one I will cook again!

Definitely need to clean bowl after making dough, especially when putting it on Varoma temp.  :o It is easier to give it a quick brush and rinse then a scrub after.  ;)

Original recipe says to leave some dough in there to thicken the sauce. So maybe need to give it a whizz first to make sure all left over dough is taken up with the liquid.

i did leave it in there and it made it nice and syrupy! I think i will do that next time meganjane. I wizzed it a bit at the end and it helped to incorporate it. So next time i will try to mix it in a bit at the start. Thanks for the help girls!

Ohhhhhhh, wipes drool off keyboard  ;D ;D

This looks fab - I could well be giving this a go over the next few days, the children would LOVE it.  I'm dieting so I'll just watch them eating it.

What are they like cold?

Thanks for all the comments!  Sorry about forgetting the speed.  I used speed 4 actually. 

Don't clean the bowl between courses - just use a higher speed - speed 1 is so slow it allows the syrup time to sit on the bottom, if you use 4 Robert's your relative (er... that's Bob's yr uncle)  I never have any issues with burning  :)

So excited to have this recipe converted.

My neighbour was asking me about making these the the TMX just last week and I promised him I would make him some.

Now I have all the hard work of converting done for me!

Thanks a million!

 ;D

I'm going to be the best neighbour in the street!

As much as I love my Thermie, I'd make the dough in it, and mix the syrup in it, then I'd revert to 'traditional cooking' and put the dumplings covered in syrup into the oven to cook.

Just sitting in the hot syrup wouldn't soak them as nicely as having them boil in it as it thickens :)

But then, vie been making these things for YEARS ... and some things shouldn't change (too much) :)

I love them on the top of the stove in the syrup. They are so handy for that unexpected guest who turns up for dinner. I've been having them since I was a kid. Nice if you're feeling a bit down or it's cold and wet. (not that we know that sort of weather here :'()

The recipe sounds lovely I have always made Golden Syrup Dumplings in the pressure cooker, so I am going to experiment in the Thermo as soon as I can.

With the colder weather here now, it is golden syrup dumplings time.  My daughter always made them the best in our house and she has moved out so going to try them in Thermomix.  She always boiled them in the syrup on the stove, soaking up the syrup.  Thanks for this recipe
