Butterscotch Dumplings - Serves 4 to 6

When poppy Pete brought over these dumplings both myself and my husband were instantly in love, again! The soft fluffy dumplings smothered in a creamy caramelly sauce, I've never quite has anything like this before and was really eager to learn how to make them! I got on my phone and got poppy Pete to msg through the recipe... Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Self Raising Flour 
1/2 Cup Almond Meal
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
30g Butter, cubed
1/3 Cup Buttermilk
1/4 Cup Maple syrup
Butterscotch Sauce
30g Butter
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
1 1/2 Cups Water

Method:

Place the flour, almond meal, and baking powder into a mixing bowl (i'm using my Kitchenaid , but you can use your hands) and rub in the butter through to resemble breadcrumbs. 
Add the milk and syrup mixing together gently, until combined.
Make your sauce by adding all the ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved and butter is melted.
Roll you dumpling mixture into balls (I made large ones as you can see as i love a big portion of them) drop them into the sauce, simmering for 25mins or until dumplings are puffy and golden. Serve with ice cream or cream! Delicious!
