Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (extra for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1.25 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-cup capacity ovenproof dish lightly with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-rising flour, then add the brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, combine the extra brown sugar and golden syrup. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the pudding. This ensures the liquid spreads evenly without disturbing the batter beneath.
Place the baking dish onto a baking tray to catch any bubbling sauce that might overflow during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top of the pudding is golden and firm to touch but a wobbly layer of sauce is visible underneath.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
