Golden Syrup Dumplings

Submitted by MarieRynr

"These dumplings make a delicious dessert. Serve with whipped cream. It varies slightly from the other recipe posted, in that this one has lemon juice in the syrup mixture, giving it an additional flavour. It is also cooked on top of the stove instead of being baked. Another one of those comfort type of food recipes that you will find yourself turning to again and again."

These are so good. I had recently purchased golden syrup to use in another recipe and I saw this recipe and knew I had to make it. I did not have whipped cream to serve with it but did have some frozen vanilla yogurt. Delicious!
