Oh these"lil bauties are great when there is a cold chill around. Talk about warming up with some great comfort food! I found this recipe in the newspaper, it suggests treacle, honey or maple syrup can be subsituted for golden syrup. Ohhhh and it also suggests, Sultana's, grated apple or powdered ginger can be added to the mix. Sit back on a cold night and enjoy these wonderful puddings in front of the fire!

GOLDEN SYRUP PUDDING



Golden Syrup Pudding image

From my friend blamebrampton at LiveJournal. You can substitute treacle for golden syrup, but it will be "goopier." You can also substitute an equal amount of conserves, jam, or preserves. The ingredients are listed oddly because the original recipe is Australian, and they use a bigger cup (250mL) and a bigger tablespoon (20mL) down there. RZ wouldn't let me put "1/4 cup plus 1 tsp" so I had to list the extra as a separate ingredient. Just combine everything...

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 large egg
1 cup self-raising flour
1 tablespoon self-raising flour
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup golden syrup

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar until pale and light. Beat in egg. Sift flour and sugar over the top and fold in, alternately with the milk and vanilla.
  • Spoon golden syrup into the bottom of a 4-cup buttered pudding basin. Spoon pudding mixture on top of golden syrup. Cover the top of the basin with a circle of baking or waxed paper (or a circle of washed muslin or calico) cut so that it has a diameter about 2" wider than the top of the pudding basin, this is then put over the top, tied with string around the lip, and the excess paper or fabric turned up on top of the 'lid'. I often tie 'handles' of string on either side of the bowl to make the next step easier.
  • Take a large saucepan that will more than fit in the pudding basin. I put an old saucer upside down in the bottom of the pan to stand the basin on. Fill the saucepan with water that comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Remove the bowl, put the lid on the saucepan, bring the water to a simmer, return the bowl to the pan, replace the lid on the pan. Steam for 75 minutes.
  • Remove from water, rest for 10 mins, turn out onto a flat plate. Serve with cream and or ice-cream.

Steps:

  • In a microwavable bowl, put the jam or syrup so that it covers the bottom. This will be the top of your cake.
  • Here it is best to use a food processor, although if you want to you can do it by hand. Put all of the remaining basic ingredients into a bowl (or the mixer) with one of the flavour ingredients. If you want to, you can keep it plain.
  • Mix or blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Put in bowl on top of jam/syrup and microwave without a lid on full for 5 mins. Leave for 1-2 mins to stand.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your syrup sponge pudding.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pudding tough.
  • Let the pudding rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and fruit.

Conclusion:
