Ingredients
- For the Sponge
- 75 g butter plus extra for greasing
- 75 g sugar caster or soft light brown sugar

- A little milk
- For the Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Golden Syrup If you have difficulty finding this see my notes below
DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Grease a 900ml (1½ pint) ovenproof dish, pudding basin, or 6 150ml (¼ pint) pudding basins. Divide the Golden Syrup equally between whatever basins you are using. Leave these aside for later. preferably in the fridge.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat well.
- Fold in the flour then add just enough milk to make a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dishes or basin and spread it out evenly.
- To bake: bake for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C/160ºC Fan/ 350°F/ gas 4.
- To steam: cover with greased greaseproof paper and foil, folding the foil firmly around the rim of the dish or basin to prevent moisture from entering. Then steam for around 1¼-2 hours.
- To microwave: cover with a piece of greaseproof paper and cook on high (100 per cent power) for 5-6 minutes. Leave to stand for 1 minute before serving.
- For a jam sponge, put 3 tablespoons of jam of your choice (apricot and plum are particularly good) in the base of the greased dish or basin before adding the pudding mixture. I have experimented with AGAVE NECTAR and that works well too.
