Ingredients
Syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 50 g margarine plant-based
- 1/3 cup golden syrup
- 2 cups water
Dumplings
- 1 + 1/2 cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup milk plant-based (I use soy or oat)
- 50 g margarine plant-based
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Spices for dumplings
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp mixed spice
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
Syrup
- Combine all syrup ingredients into a large pot, bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Dumplings
- Add flour, salt, spices, sugar and margarine to a medium size mixing bowl. Gently rub with your fingertips until evenly combined.
- Add milk and golden syrup and mix well until it forms a smooth batter.
- Spoon dollops of batter into the syrup. The dumplings will swell as they cook. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes on one side, before gently flipping onto the other side. Use a large serving spoon to avoid breaking the dumplings when flipping. Continue to simmer for a further 10 minutes. Insert a skewer to check if thoroughly cooked.
- Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
