Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and lightly grease a deep pudding dish or a 1.5-liter baking dish.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the light brown sugar.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Gently fold in the mincemeat, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pudding dish and spread it out evenly.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the golden syrup, heavy cream, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Slowly pour the butterscotch sauce over the pudding batter. Do not stir; it will create a luscious sauce at the bottom as it bakes.
Place the dish on a baking tray to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a drizzle of the butterscotch sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
