Butterscotch self-saucing pudding

Serves:

Ingredients

• 50g melted butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup (125mL) milk
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

SAUCE

• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• ¼ cup golden syrup

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease a 2-litre ovenproof dish with some of the melted butter.

Combine sugar, flour and baking powder in a large bowl, mix well (I use a whisk).

Add milk, egg, butter, golden syrup and vanilla and stir well to combine.

Spoon mixture into dish.

For the sauce, combine sugar and cornflour in a bowl then sprinkle over cake mixture.

Dissolve golden syrup in ¾ cup of hot water and pour over top (I pour in a spiral pattern from the outside in).

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes to avoid burning your tongue on hot, hot sauce.

Serve with cream or ice-cream.

Notes:

• This is really very simple to make and tastes so much better than the packet mixes!
• Treat yourself to a wonderful winter warmer.
• Make this recipe gluten-free using gluten-free flour (I like Orgran brand from supermarket) and gluten-free baking powder.
