Ingredients

• 200 g self-raising flour
• 25 g soft brown sugar
• 50 g butter
• 1 tsp sea salt flakes
• ½ cup (125 ml) milk
• Thickened cream or ice-cream, to serve

For the simmering sauce

• ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
• 100 ml golden syrup
• 50 g butter

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter and salt. Rub the mixture together with your fingers, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk to the bowl, then mix to a soft dough.
   
2. Heat the ingredients for the simmering sauce with 2 cups (500 ml) water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then drop in rounded tablespoons of the prepared dough. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
   
3. Serve the maple syrup dumplings with a little syrup and thickened cream or ice-cream on the side.
