Condensed Milk Dumplings are a rich and comforting dessert featuring soft, fluffy dumplings simmered in a golden syrup and condensed milk sauce. Finished with cream for a velvety touch, this nostalgic treat is quick, sweet, and perfect for cozy evenings.

Ingredients

150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour

60 g butter, chopped

80 ml (1/3 cup) milk

395 g can condensed milk

80 ml (1/3 cup) golden syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

125 ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream

Instructions

  1. Place self-raising flour in a mixing bowl and rub in 20 g of the butter with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  2. Make a well in the center, pour in the milk and 1 tablespoon of condensed milk, and mix with a flat-bladed knife until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll into rough balls using lightly floured hands.
  4. In a large deep frying pan, combine golden syrup, remaining 40 g of butter, and the rest of the condensed milk. Stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until smooth and golden.
  5. Add vanilla extract and 125 ml (1/2 cup) water to loosen the sauce.
  6. Gently drop the dumplings into the sauce, leaving space between each. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  7. Uncover, carefully turn the dumplings, re-cover, and cook for another 2 minutes or until cooked through.
  8. Remove dumplings to serving bowls. Whisk thickened cream into the sauce over medium heat until smooth and heated through.
  9. Pour the sauce generously over the dumplings and serve immediately, with extra cream if desired.

Notes

Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for gentle spice.

Substitute golden syrup with maple syrup, honey, or treacle for flavor variation.

For extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Add lemon zest to the dough for a citrus twist.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.

Handle the dough lightly to keep the dumplings soft and fluffy.
