It has been a busy month for The 4 Blades Magazine. Bec and I have been busy creating new and exciting recipes, like these Golden Syrup Dumplings, for our Winter Warmers Issue of the magazine. Winter for me means comfort food and being curled up on the couch. Soups galore and fresh bread. As much as I hate the cold weather (says she who has lived in Canberra her whole life), I LOVE warm, hearty winter foods.

These delicious Golden Syrup Dumplings are just one of the 45+ recipes featured in this issue. They are so so easy and budget friendly that  they make for a lovely dessert for those cold cold nights that is not only easy but so budget friendly. Combine these with some vanilla ice cream or custard for a simple but delicious dessert when guests pop over. 

Are you in need of some delicious warming and hearty dishes for the cold months ahead? The Winter Warmers Issue of The 4 Blades Magazine is packed full of recipes to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether you want some impressive like roasts and sides to entertain your guests or something as simple as a big bowl of soup we have you covered in this jam packed issue.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dumplings

• 150g self raising flour
• 60g cold butter, cubed
• 1 tsp sugar
• 130g milk

Sauce

• 500ml water
• 80g sugar
• 5 Tbsp golden syrup

---

Instructions

1. Place self raising flour (150g) and butter (60g) into bowl. Speed 6/8 seconds. You want to combine the butter into the flour to form a breadcrumb type consistency. If you do not have a Thermomix simply combine in a bowl and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips.
2. Add sugar (1 tsp) and milk (130g).
3. Speed 4 until just combined. Do not overmix or your dumplings will be dense. If you don’t have a Thermomix simply add the sugar and milk to teh flour butter mixture and stir to just combine.
4. Roll a tablespoon of mixture into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough. Leave dumplings to rest whilst you prepare the sauce.
5. Place water (500g), sugar (80g) and golden syrup (5 Tbsp) into a large saucepan over medium heat.
6. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil.
7. Place dumplings gently into the sauce.
8. Turn down heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.
9. Serve with ice cream, cream or custard.
