Ingredients
Units
Units
1 cup (150g) cup self raising flour
Sea salt, to taste
20g unsalted butter
1 free range egg
50ml full cream milk
Sauce
1/2 cup (125ml) golden syrup
3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar firmly packed
30g unsalted butter
1 2/3 cup (160ml) water
Runny cream or Maggie Beer Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, to serve
Methods
Prep time: 10 mins / Cook time: 20 mins.
METHOD
1
Sift the self-raising flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
2
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, add the whisked egg and stir to combine.
3
Gently add the milk and mix till the dough just comes together and resembles a scone mix, be sure not to overwork the dough. Set aside.
4
Combine all sauce ingredients into a large fry pan. Bring to the boil to amalgamate before reducing heat to a gentle simmer.
5
Flour your hands and roll the dough into the size of a 20c piece. Place the balls onto a tray lined with baking paper.
6
Slip the balls off the baking paper altogether into the syrup. Cover fry pan with foil to form a tight seal and cover with the lid. Cook for about 10 minutes before turning over to cook for another 10 minutes on the other side.
7
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with the remaining sauce and a jug of runny cream or Maggie Beer Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (or any of Maggie's Ice Creams).

Maggie's Kitchen Notes:
All my recipes are cooked with a fan forced (convection) oven, increase by 20°C for conventional. My recipes use 20ml tablespoons and 5ml teaspoons, look carefully at your measuring spoons as American spoons are often on sale and they are a smaller measure. All produce are medium sized and all eggs are from an extra large carton (700g).
