Oh, dear Suzanne rose here goes another recipe with a yummy sauce that I have to make double the quantity because the spoon keeps wanting to taste it and to make matters worse it insists on having some runny cream with it. Have to admit I have never cooked banana bread dumplings - but there is always a first time. Thank you.

It’s been many years since I last made golden syrup dumplings. Banana dumplings sounds interesting.
