A deliciously sweet winter treat
When the young people living at Eveline House in Devonport come together for a shared meal in the colder months, they love to see Golden Syrup Dumplings on the menu.
Although it’s best seen as an occasional treat, what’s not to love about this old–fashioned favourite?
Anglicare staff double the recipe and then it’s into the slow cooker to set and forget. How simple. Why not try the recipe below and let us know what you think?
