Golden SYRUP DUMPLINGS

Batter
1 tbs butter
1 cup self raisinq flour
1 egg
2 tbs milk

Soften/melt the butter. Mix well. It should have the consistency between toothpaste and soft dough.

Sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbs butter
1 tbs GOLDEN SYRUP
good squeeze of lemon juice

Prepare this in another saucepan and have it simmering when ready to use (below)

Grease the camp oven and put in dollops of the batter using a tablespoon - "roll" it off the spoon with your finger so that you end up with the base of the camp oven covered in balls of batter about 2" round. Doesn't matter if they run together a bit.

Pour on the sauce. The batter balls will float up.

Bake in a reasonably hot oven (190c equivalent) for 20 to 30 min. Coals on top to give a crisp, GOLDEN top.

2 or 3 DUMPLINGS per person with some of the SYRUP with ice cream or cream is enough. I usually make 2 or 3 times the quantity and this fills a large camp oven.


This is a recipe that I came across awhile back and is terrific eating when done in a camp oven. Try it some time if you like your desserts after a good campoven roast
