Grease a microwave-safe pudding basin or medium-sized mug with a little butter to prevent sticking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter and caster sugar, whisking together until creamy and well incorporated.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat thoroughly until smooth.
Sift in the self-raising flour, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the golden syrup into the greased pudding basin or mug, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
Gently spoon the batter over the golden syrup, taking care not to mix it with the syrup.
Place the pudding in the microwave and cook on high power for 3 minutes. The pudding should rise and become spongy to the touch.
Carefully remove the pudding from the microwave (it will be very hot) and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes.
Turn the pudding out onto a plate to serve or enjoy it straight from the basin or mug. Optionally, serve with custard, cream, or ice cream.
