Sift flour into mixing bowl, add sugar and stir until combined. Make a well in the center. Combine butter, egg and milk, and add to the dry mixture. Using a knife, stir until just combined. Combine water, syrup, juice and extra butter in a large pan. Stir over high heat until sugar has dissolved, bring to a boil. Carefully drop heaped tablespoonfuls into the syrup.
