Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Butter
- 100 grams Caster sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.
Grease four individual pudding basins (approximately 150ml each) with a small amount of butter.
Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of golden syrup into the bottom of each pudding basin and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Sift the self-raising flour into the mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and fold gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pudding basins, spooning it on top of the golden syrup.
Cover each basin tightly with a piece of foil, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent water from getting in during the steaming process.
Place the basins in a deep roasting tray or baking dish. Fill the dish with boiling water until it comes halfway up the sides of the pudding basins.
Carefully transfer the dish to the oven and steam-bake the puddings for 25 minutes, or until risen and a skewer inserted into the sponge comes out clean.
Once cooked, carefully remove the puddings from the water bath and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Run a knife along the edges of each pudding to loosen, then turn them out onto serving plates so the golden syrup drips down over the sponge.
Serve warm with custard, cream, or ice cream for a decadent dessert.
