Classic and nostalgic, this pudding is delicious, and the microwave makes it easy to prepare. Switch out the golden syrup for treacle if you prefer.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons golden syrup
75g (3 oz) plain flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
100g (4 oz) caster sugar
100g (4 oz) butter, softened

Preparation method

1. In a 1-litre microwave safe mixing bowl, add the golden syrup, turning to coat the bottom and sides of the bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, place the remaining ingredients and beat well for 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the mixture on top of the syrup and spread evenly.
3. Cover loosely with cling film and cook in the microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes.
4. Turn out onto a warmed plate and serve hot with hot custard and/or extra syrup.

    I halved the recipe and put it into two large mugs. Microwaved them each seperatly for 3 minutes. It was scrumptious!
