Golden Syrup Dumplings Recipe (a classic Australian dessert)
Have you tried this classic Australian dessert? I had never heard of it up until I met my fiancé 5 years ago. He grew up with his grandma making him this delicious sweet treat! It is similar to Kopai or Topai but not the same. They use different ingredients to this recipe although the concept is the same.
