The Shame of Syrup Dumplings
It must be at least twenty years since I have been consistently successful with the humble, but perfectly splendid, Syrup Dumpling. I used to be able to make them …no drama…but no more. I have had extra lessons from my now deceased Nanna, my mother and from champion cook Judy and asked for hints any where I can….all to no avail.
Two weeks ago I had another go at it…and Lo! they were perfectly splendid.
So last weekend I attempted to reprise my success. I should have stopped while I was still ahead. Stodge balls. Delicious, yes, but far from the faerie delight they should present to ones taste buddies.
I am willing to pay, and pay handsomely if anyone can pass on the Secret. (I don’t care if it’s in book or DVD form.)
How does an aspiring cook make consistently yummy Syrup Dumplings?
