INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (125ml) golden syrup
125g butter, softened
1/2 cup (100g) caster sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
2/3 cup (160ml) milk
Golden syrup, extra, to serve
Ice-cream or vanilla custard, to serve
METHOD
Grease a 4-cup (1 litre) capacity ceramic pudding basin. Pour the golden syrup in the base of the pudding basin.
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition.
Stir in flour and milk in alternating batches.
Spoon the mixture into the pudding basin and smooth the surface.
Layer a sheet of baking paper and foil together on a work surface. Fold a 3cm-wide pleat down the centre. Cover the basin, paper-side down, with the layered paper and foil. Secure with kitchen string. Roll the edges of the paper and foil up so they will not come into contact with the water while cooking.
Place an upturned saucer in the base of a large saucepan. Place the basin on top then pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the basin. Place over medium-low heat and cook, covered, for 2 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Remove from heat and remove the basin from the saucepan. Set aside for 5 minutes before turning onto a plate.
Drizzle extra syrup over the pudding. Serve immediately with ice-cream or custard, if desired
