Is a tea towel needed for this one?
Can someone please tell me if I need to use a tea towel on the lid?
Does anyone know if a tea towel is used please??
Yes I would use a tea towel 🙂
Made this for the first time last night and they turned out perfectly. Super easy recipe to do and served it with vanilla bean ice cream – everyone absolutely loved it!!
Delicious,will be doing again. Whole family loved it.
Simply sensational!
Sensational!! Please be warned… taste of these will most definitely cause excess consumption!! ?
We didn’t roll into balls , just spooned (dessert spoon) into cooker. Beautiful! Thank you!!
Its is beautiful with banana mashed in the dumplings before u cook it .it inhances the flavor amazing
just treated myself to the fabulous Sunbeam slow cooker. Which also can be used as a frying pan, steamer, deep fry. and steamerr i would like to try making the golden syrup dumplings but I don’t know which scone recipe to use can anyone please help me. I’m very new to slow cooking.
The on that is listed in detail with this recipe? 🙂
What type of cream was used for the dumplings, whipping, single, double?
Yum, yum, yum! Super easy to make and so yummy!
Quick and easy to make, and perfect results every time. Greatly enjoyed by our teenage boys (and their parents!!)
What syrup do u use as well as the golden syrup stated first on the ingredients list ?
That one is just a heading for the syrup ingredients below it 🙂
These were delicious, might mash banana in the dumpling mixture next time like Shays comment, cos I found them a bit stogy and floury . But the flavour of them was delish and the syrup was to die for
My go to recipe for golden syrup dumplings!
Delicious, easy and a family fave. Make it at home and out camping. Such a lovely dessert to make.
What type of cream is used for the scones as the ingredients list just says cream
Just regular thickened cream I’d assume 🙂
Amazing dessert. Made for my mum and loved it – yummy! Delish ?
Please….what type of cream..single…double..whipping?
Regular thickened cream it’s called in Australia. A pourable type of cream that you could whip or just use poured
so whats the tea towel used for
Tea Towel Trick
Wow! This is delicious! I used gluten free SR flour so the whole family could enjoy it too. And I used the tea towel trick. I’ll definitely make this one again!!!
“Yields 4 – 6” Is that serves or individual dumplings?
Yields is serves Lisa 🙂
cooking cream in UK is Single Cream
Great recipe, worked really well.
Used a dark caster sugar as it was all I had, the sauce was really dark and was kinda toffee flavoured. I also used lactose free cream instead of regular
Are the quantities of this recipe ok for the small 1.5L slow cooker or should it be in bigger?
These are fantastic! Now a Sunday night favourite in our house
What a yummy recipe!!
I made it last night and a definite hit.
The recipe doesn’t specify size of slow cooker so I made it in a 3L bowl. I would use my 5.5L next time as the dumplings stuck together and it turned out like a self saucing pudding.
I used a small ice cream scoop to shape the dumplings and used a tea towel for cooking.
It comfortably served 5 adults with leftovers for breakfast. Winning ?
Absolutely delicious, massive hit in my household they all loved these. Made a few times now and each time I get the double thumbs up from everyone.
For a first time making golden syrup dumplings and what a wow factor and i added a bit more lemonade and they were so moist and really tasty and i will make them again
Please can someone tell me if this recipe is too much for the small 1.5 L slow cooker?
Would like to make tonight, but I’m cooking pickled pork in my 3L cooker thanks everyone
Yes I believe this one is too small for 1.5L
These are the best dumplings I’ve ever made ??
Made for the first time tonight. Found them a bit doughy. Would that be because I didn’t use tea towel under lid?
You might like smaller dumplings perhaps Darlene? 🙂
Can someone please reply to these questions : 1 WHY DOES IT TASTE DOUGHY TO SOME PEOPLE ??
2: DO YOU HAVE TO ADD THE LEMONADE ??
: 3 WHY THE TEA TOWEL & IS THE TEA TOWEL WET/ OR DRY ??
Tea Towel Trick explained HERE
So quick and easy the whole family devoured this delicious treat ?
Every time I see my picture I think I must make these again soon. They are so good!!
Absolutely divine, sweet, soft and super easy ,
Definitely an amazing desert but super quick and easy to make with everything you pretty much have at home . Would make a wonderful Christmas or special occasion dessert but I made it just because !
My kids wanted more
these are so popular at our place. perfect desert for a cold night!
So easy to make and sooo delicious!
Delicious and so easy to make
This recipient was so quick and easy.
Family loved it, served with ice cream and cream.
Will definitely make again.
Thanks for an awesome easy recipe.
Question please ; can this recipe be doubled/tripled please ?
I don’t see why not in theory Karen, but the limit will be how many you can fit because they need to be able to expand and not layer up on top of each other so I can’t imagine a lot more fitting
Quick, easy and tastes amazing! Top of the list request for Sunday night winter dinners.
Is the lemonade a Softdrink like sprite?
Yes a fizzy soft drink
delicious….only complaint…not enough sauce. easy fix
for next time
l replaced lemonade with some grated lemon skin and some juice .
Great substitute to know, thanks Sonia 🙂
1st time making these dumplings, I substituted the lemonade in the dough mixture with Sunkist & still tasted amazzzzzzing, will definately make these again & I didn’t use the tea towel trick
Love how well your substitute worked! Great to know for others 🙂 Thanks Alison x
awesome amazing such a sweet dessert on a cold night watching TV. 😊😍
Your pic looked delicious too Erin – you totally nailed it 🙂
Made in 1.5L slow cooker. Halved the recipe. Turned out amazing. Sweet and comforting. Served with icecream.
That’s awesome to hear – thanks Wendy 🙂
Did you have to adjust the cook time in for that?
Zero fuss, maximum comfort, no control 😍
SR flour, cream, and lemonade somehow transform into soft, pillowy dumplings soaking up that sweet, sticky syrup like absolute champions. Set it and forget it—then come back to a rich, cozy dessert that tastes like pure indulgence. They don’t just hit the spot—they take over the whole show.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your always awesome feedback Meagan! 🙂
Made them for dessert tonight and everyone loved them , will definitely be a go to for dessert in the future especially now the weather is cooling down ❤️
How wonderful! Thanks Sandra 🙂
Made these last night, with a couple of changes. Used lactose free cream, no tea towel under the lid, in my 5.5 litre Breville, didn’t roll the dumplings into balls just dropped the mix into the syrup off the spoon.
Cooked on high for 90 minutes, dumplings were perfect. Next time I will increase the amount of syrup by at least 50% – I think the bigger cooking surface needs more liquid for that amount of cooking time
Thanks for your great feedback Karen! 🙂
