Pickles, could you add a bit more detail for an enthusiastic male cook please? The "pour over" bits - do you melt the butter and dissolve the sugar in the cup of boiling water? Steaming - do you use a lid? Suitable for a slow cooker / crockpot? Thanks!

Bumping for you-and hi. .
I'd mix the 1 cup of boiling water 2 tsp golden syrup, 1/2 cup of sugar, 50 grams of butter together until the butter and syrup have melted and the sugar dissolved. .
Pour over the batter in the bowl and steam.
It sounds similar to the Three-Quarter Hour Pudding in the Edmonds book, with cocoa added - basically a scone dough with the liquid poured over.
I'd steam it without a cover on the bowl as that pudding is cooked, and I'd cook it for the 3/4 hour that takes.
Hope this helps. .

Hi Juliewn, Would you steam this in a large pot on the stove or in a crockpot - with out the lid on? Thanks.

Hi. . I'd do either. . I'd steam it for 3/4 hour in a pot and maybe 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours, or a bit longer, in a crockpot. .
Don't put a lid over the pudding basin itself - do put the pot lid or crockpot lid on though.
Let us know how you like it. . it is similar sounding to the Edmonds recipe I mentioned above - and I've seen similar recipes using brown sugar to replace the white sugar in the sauce ingredients, to make a sauce that's a little more caramelly. . and you can also use honey in place of the golden syrup too.
