Golden syrup dumplings

These dumplings couldn't be easier and, as one Taste.com.au member says, they're just like grandma used to make.

Ingredients (serves 4)
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
60g unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg
1-2 tbs milk, to beat
Thick cream, to serve
Syrup
30g butter
220g (1 cup) caster sugar
4 tbs golden syrup
1 small lemon, juiced

Method
Sift flour into a bowl, then rub in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Beat egg with a little milk and pour into flour mixture. Combine to form a dough, then divide into small balls.
To make the syrup, combine the ingredients together with 1 cup of water in a pan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Carefully add dough balls to syrup and boil for 20 minutes. Serve with syrup and cream.

Had em last night after a feed of steak and vegs.   Just like I remembered....delicious. 
Thanks for the recipe.   Tonight I am doing a chook in the camp oven with tomato sauce and coke.  Smells good so far.
