Method
- Prep the Flour: Sift self-raising flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
- Make the Dough: Rub butter into the flour until breadcrumb-like. Add whisked egg and combine.
- Add Milk: Gently mix in milk until it looks like scone dough. Don't overmix.
- Cook the Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in a large fry pan, bring to a boil, then simmer.
- Form Dumplings: Flour your hands and shape dough into balls the size of a 20c piece. Place on a tray with baking paper.
- Cook Dumplings: Drop the balls into the syrup in the fry pan. Cover tightly with foil and lid. Cook 10 mins, flip, cook another 10 mins.
- Serve: Remove with a slotted spoon and pour remaining sauce over. Serve with runny cream.
