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.
