GOLDEN SYRUP SPONGE PUDDINGS
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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to moderate.
- Grease small ovenproof round moulds with butter.
- Beat the butter and sugar together and add lemon zest, beat ingredients together until pale and creamy.
- Add the milk and eggs, and beat well. (The mixture may curdle at this point, do not worry). Sift in flour and fold through mixture.
- Combine Golden Syrup and lemon juice and divide equal amounts between the moulds. Fill each mould with batter to about 2/3 full each.
- Cover each mould with baking paper and tie to seal. Place the puddings in a baking dish and fill dish with water to come up half way to the sides of the moulds.
- Bake 40 minutes.
- Remove the puddings from oven and cool slightly on a rack. Remove paper and turn puddings out onto serving plates.
- Serve immediately with ice cream or custard.
- N.B. I poured some extra warmed Golden Syrup over these puddings before I added cream to serve.
GOLDEN SYRUP PUDDING
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...

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:
