Treacle pudding.

 Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened, plus extra for greasing)
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp fresh white breadcrumbs
  • Splash of brandy (optional)
  • ¾ cup golden caster sugar (optional but delicious)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional but delicious)
  • 3 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Clotted cream (to serve)

Method:

  1. Grease a 4-cup pudding basin with a small knob of butter.
  2. In a small bowl, mix golden syrup with breadcrumbs and brandy (if using). Pour this mixture into the basin.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add beaten eggs to the butter mixture, mixing well.
  5. Fold in the self-raising flour, then add milk and mix until combined.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the pudding basin.
  7. Cover with a double layer of buttered foil and baking paper. Create a pleat in the center to allow rising.
  8. Secure the foil with string.
  9. Place the basin in a steamer or large pot with gently simmering water, ensuring the water comes halfway up the sides of the basin.
  10. Steam for 1½ hours.
  11. Carefully turn the pudding out onto a serving dish.
  12. Serve with clotted cream and drizzle with extra golden syrup, if desired.
