Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 50 grams self-raising flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or your chosen syrup/jam)
Instructions
Grease a microwave-safe bowl or large mug with a little butter. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until combined.
Sift the self-raising flour into the wet ingredients, then gently fold the flour into the mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Drizzle the golden syrup (or your chosen topping) into the bottom of the greased microwave-safe bowl/mug.
Spoon the sponge batter on top of the syrup, smoothing it out so it’s evenly distributed.
Place the bowl/mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 2 to 3 minutes (timing may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage). The pudding is done when it has risen, is firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the sponge comes out clean.
Carefully remove the pudding from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow it to cool for a minute before inverting onto a plate or enjoying directly from the bowl/mug.
Serve warm with your favorite topping, such as custard, cream, or ice cream.
