Make the syrup; add the golden syrup, brown sugar, butter and water into a large saucepan and bring to the boil until combined and smooth. Make the dumpling batter; using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour and salt until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Mix the milk, egg and remaining golden syrup in a jug until mostly combined.
In a bowl, mix the flour and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center and add the milk and golden syrup. Mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into roughly 9-18 balls. (~1 Tbsp each) In a slow cooker, mix the golden syrup, butter, brown sugar, and boiling water. Add the dumplings one by one.
