Add a small amount of milk to the flour, adjusting until the texture is right for handling.

Add sultanas to the mixture.

Add caster sugar to taste, about a handful.

Pour in vanilla essence to the mixture.

Add a bit of coconut to the mixture and mix everything together until combined.

Flour your hands to handle the mixture and form small dumplings.

Once the butter is melted, add brown sugar to the saucepan and mix.

Let the caramel sauce simmer carefully to avoid burning.

Add the dumplings into the caramel sauce, ensuring they are covered.

Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes.

Check the dumplings by inserting a spoon into one; if nothing sticks, they are ready.

Remove the dumplings from the saucepan and place them on a plate.

Drizzle the thick caramel sauce over the dumplings.

Serve with cream on top.
