Description
Frozen berries on the base, golden syrup dumplings on top, what could be better? Introducing Stace's Slow Cooker Berry Dumplings!
Play around with the fruits on the base of this too, lots of my followers have made them with mango on the base.
Ingredients
Into cooker initially:
1 x 450g (3 cups) mixed frozen berries
1 cup boiling water
1 tspn vanilla
1 tbsp maple
Dumplings mixture:
1 ½ cups spelt flour
2 tspn baking powder
50g butter, finely diced
⅓ cup milk
⅓ cup golden syrup
2 tspn vanilla
To serve :
Ice cream, whipped cream or a nice thick yoghurt.
Instructions
STEP 1. Turn your slow cooker on high and set the timer to 2.5 hours.
STEP 2. Pour the frozen berries, maple, vanilla and boiling water into the cooker, stir and pop the lid on.
STEP 3. Now get going on making the dumplings mixture. In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder and add the butter. Using your hands, squeeze the butter into the flour like you would when making a scone. Then, make a well and pour in the milk and golden syrup.
STEP 4. Mix the syrup, vanilla and milk in and then roll into small balls; I did 8, and each was about 2 tbsp.
STEP 5. Now put the dumplings on top of your berry mixture, pop a tea towel under the cooker lid and leave it to cook. Do your best not to look at them, even when the smell is so much!
STEP 6. When done, the dumplings will be golden and smell delicious. Gobble them up with ice cream, whipped cream or a nice thick yoghurt.
