Golden Syrup pudding (dessert)

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Ingredients

  1. 60gm butter melted
  2. 3/4 Cup Sugar
  3. 1cup Self-Raising Flour (or 1 cup normal flower and 1 tsp baking powder)
  4. 1/2 cup milk

Sauce

  1. 1 1/2 Cups boiling water
  2. 3 tablespoons Golden Syrup (or Treacle or even Maple!)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180C
  2. Mix all ingredients for cake in a bowl
  3. Mix Sauce Ingredients and pour into good sized oven dish (i like Glass ones)
  4. Carefully layer the batter into the middle, it should almost float in the water from the sauce.
  5. bake for 40 mins

This dessert is fantastic, a family favourite. It does take a bit of time to cook though, however you can pop it in the microwave for about 8-10 minutes and it cooks just fine. We prefer it cooked in the oven so it gets the crunchie crust on it, we usually put it on right after a roast.

Usually when its served its taken out of the bowl and flipped upside down leaving the sauce on the ‘top’ and crunchy part on the bottom. Goes great with ice cream.

Xmas Pudding Truffles

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010


This one is by Allie K. @alikat2k

Ingredients

  • 1x Ernest Adams Christmas Pudding (325gm) (or similar size pre-made Xmas pudding)
  • 1/2 Cup of Rum, Brandy or Orange Liqueur
  • 1x Bag of Dark or Milk Chocolate Melts
  • 1/2 Bag of White Chocolate Melts Glace Cherries or Red/Green lollies to decorate

Instructions

  1. Crumble Christmas Pudding into a microwave proof bowl.
  2. Pour over Alcohol.
  3. Microwave on High for 4-5 minutes (depending on Microwave… 4 minutes @ 1200w works nice)
  4. When cooled sufficiently, roll into balls. Should make about 12 balls.
  5. Place in freezer on a tray & baking paper for no less than an hour.
  6. Melt Dark/Milk chocolate according to the instructions on the packet.

  7. Dip each partially frozen truffle into the chocolate and place on baking paper and allow to set at room temperature (putting in the fridge to set causes the chocolate to sweat and go all cloudy and yucky looking)
  8. Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions on the packet. let it cool ever so slightly.
  9. Take a level teaspoon of white chocolate and drip it on top, allowing the chocolate to slowly run off the teaspoon, giving it a custard dollop look.
  10. Allow the white chocolate to again start setting.
  11. After about a minute or so, place the decorations on top to make it look like a christmas pudding!
  12. Allow the white chocolate to set fully at room temperature (again, not in the fridge… chocolate sweats!)
  13. CONSUME :) OM NOM NOM NOM
