Golden syrup steamed pudding

bev00, Feb 10, 10:26am
greenforde, here's a microwave recipe that I kept from this MB - it's thanks to subo.

Golden Syrup or Jam Sponge Pudding [microwaved]
100g each of butter and sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1¼ cups self-raising flour
¼-½ cup milk
approximately 4 tbsp golden syrup or jam

Melt the butter and sugar in the microwave. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the flour and milk. Place the golden syrup or jam in the bottom of a greased 2 litre bowl or glass jug. Pour in the batter. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and cook for 5-6 minutes.

If you'd like a conventionally cooked one I'm happy to post one or more for you as well - I have several that I have saved over the years from previous threads here on the Recipe MB. :-))

This one is really nice, can be made in the microwave or conventional steamed. So YUM! and only takes a few minutes. Golden syrup or tinned apricots in juice are the favourites in our house

Classic steamed pudding with golden syrup

Serves 8

175 gr butter
175 gr or 11/2 cups self raising flour
175 gr sugar
3 eggs
1 lemon zested and juice
3 tablespoons milk
1.5 litre pudding bowl with lid
1 cup golden syrup

Put the butter, flour, sugar, eggs, lemon zest and half the juice and milk in a food processor and mix.

Pour water into a large saucepan so that it comes half way up the side of the pudding basin when the pudding basin is placed in the pot. Bring to the boil.

Grease the bowl with butter and pour in the golden syrup, add in the other lemon juice. Pour the sponge mixture on top of the syrup and place on the lid of the pudding bowl.
Place the pudding basin into the saucepan and put the lid on and cook for two hours. Remember to check the water level in the pot, as you don't want it to boil dry. Add more water if necessary. When the pudding is ready remove the pudding basin from the boiling water and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

I make the Dominion Pudding out of the edmonds book, and use golden syrup instead of jam.
