Ingredients
  

Dumpling Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 30 g butter for the dumplings
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/3 cup milk
Caramel Sauce Ingredients
  • 30 g butter for the caramel sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 pinch salt for caramel sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the flour and salt into a bowl, rub in the butter, and add the sugar.
  2. Add the combined milk and vanilla, mixing well until everything comes together.
Caramel Sauce
  1. Combine all the caramel sauce ingredients in a large saucepan and stir constantly until boiling.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
  3. Drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the simmering sauce, allowing them to gently bob and cook.
  4. Cover the pan and simmer for about 20 minutes, letting the dumplings absorb all that sweet, gooey goodness.

Notes

For serving, drizzle the dumplings with warm caramel sauce and consider pairing with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. A sprinkle of sea salt can enhance the flavors. Store leftover dumplings in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
