Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 125 milliliters milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup or jam
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Grease a heatproof pudding bowl or small basin with butter, ensuring the sides and base are well-coated.
Place the golden syrup or jam into the bottom of the greased pudding bowl and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir in the granulated sugar.
Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pudding bowl, spreading it evenly over the golden syrup or jam.
Cover the bowl tightly with a layer of foil or parchment paper, securing it with kitchen string or an elastic band.
Place the bowl in a large saucepan. Pour boiling water into the saucepan until it reaches halfway up the side of the pudding bowl.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and steam the pudding over medium heat for 20 minutes, ensuring the water remains at a gentle simmer. Check occasionally and add more boiling water if needed to maintain the water level.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the pudding bowl from the saucepan. Remove the foil or parchment paper.
Invert the pudding onto a serving plate, allowing the syrup or jam to drizzle over the top.
Serve warm with custard, ice cream, or cream for a comforting dessert.
