Directions
Souskluitjies (Dumplings in Cinnamon Syrup), A traditional South African dessert Not haute cuisine but great comfort food Usually served to finish off a Sunday lunch featuring leg of lamb , We made this an the dough melted in the water What a waste of ingrediants, Called a friends mom for a recipe which had no milk in and the dough was cooked in approximately 5cm of water (5 spoonfuls at a time) this worked great This recipe did not work at all for me , These are better than my mother’s, and that is high praise indeed They are superb, tender and featherlight They would make great dumplings in soup or a stew (say with some chopped onion and parsley or other herbs stirred into the dough), just using the dough I would add a touch less salt when I make them as sweet dumplings again, and use 3 cups of water to cook them in, because I found that they had soaked up almost all the water when they were cooked, so I had to add more water to make the syrup Brilliant!
