Steaming, light fluffy golden balls, covered with
a thick golden caramely sauce!!!! With a dollop of cream or ice
cream!! YUM Golden Syrup Dumplings have been a family favourite
through many generations of Australian families. This
simple economic recipe provided a tasty dessert for many families. I
have found copies of the recipe Australian newspapers dating back as far
as the late 1890’s.
Golden Syrup which is a by-product of sugar has
been a favourite in the Australian Kitchen for many years. With a little research on Trove, I found recipes dating back to the end of the 1800's. In a
previous Friday Recipe blog, I wrote about Anzac Biscuits, and the
importance of golden syrup for this recipe. Again, the
sticky sweetness of Golden syrup is the vital ingredient of our golden
syrup dumplings.

Here is Mum's Golden Syrup Dumpling Recipe. I am sure it will continue to be passed on through the generations of my family.
They sound delicious Diane :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Aillin Diane.
ReplyDeleteThey sound so yummy that I've taken a "snip" of the recipe... hope this is OK? I'd like to know your mother's name so that I can record it there, along with yours. I love collecting recipes and always like to remember from whom they came.
I have all the ingredients and intend to cook them tomorrow night :-) ...
Cheerio for now... Catherine.
Happy to share!! My mum's name is Moreen. I think collecting recipes is fun, especially older ones. I hope to share another one of her recipes tomorrow. Hope they turned out well.
