Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 1.5-liter ovenproof baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and half (75g) of the light brown sugar. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder together. Gradually add the cooled butter mixture, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate heatproof bowl or jug, combine the golden syrup, remaining 75g of light brown sugar, and boiling water. Stir until dissolved to make the butterscotch sauce.
Gently pour the sauce over the batter using the back of a spoon to prevent disturbing the surface of the batter.
Place the baking dish on a baking tray to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is golden and set on top but with a layer of sauce beneath.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the honeycomb pieces over the pudding for a delightful crunch just before serving.
Serve warm with double cream, if desired. Enjoy!
