Directions

10 mins to prep

30 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, plant-based butter, oat milk, and golden syrup. Stir just until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for a few minutes at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.

  2. Step 2

    In a large saucepan, combine all the caramel sauce ingredients. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until everything is melted and the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Using a wet tablespoon (or wet hands), scoop portions of dough and gently drop them into the simmering syrup one at a time. Cook on low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed, cooked through, and the syrup has thickened slightly. While they cook, turn the dumplings occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the dumplings into bowls, drizzle with the warm caramel sauce, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.
