Preparation
- Combine the syrup ingredients: brown sugar, golden syrup, butter, and water in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil.

Notes
Make sure not to over-mix the dumpling dough; this keeps them fluffy and light. If short on time, prepare the syrup mixture ahead of time. Adjust the sweetness by varying the brown sugar amount. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
