Salted Cider Caramel Dumplings Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1⁄4 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups apple juice
1⁄3 cup (80ml) golden syrup
100g salted butter, chilled, chopped
1 1⁄2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
1⁄2 tsp salt flakes
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Clotted cream, to serve
Method
- Place the caster sugar, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar in a large, deep-sided frying pan with a tight-fitting lid. Place over high heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Carefully add the apple juice, golden syrup and half the butter, and then stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer and allow the caramel to reduce slightly while making the dumplings.
- To make the dumplings, place the remaining butter in a bowl with the self- raising flour and salt. Rub together with clean fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Place the egg, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix to combine. Stir the milk mixture through the flour to form a dough. Take tablespoonfuls of the dough and roll into balls.
- When all of the dough has been rolled into balls, add the dumplings to the apple caramel, and reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the dumplings are puffed up and cooked through. Serve with clotted cream.
