    4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 175 grams Unsalted Butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • 3 tablespoons Syrup, plus extra for drizzling (use golden syrup or light corn syrup)
  • 25 grams Fresh Bread Crumbs
  • 175 grams Light Brown Sugar
  • zest of one Lemon
  • 3 large Eggs, beaten
  • 175 grams Self Rising Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

  1. Generously grease a 1-liter pudding basin with butter.
  2. Combine the syrup with the breadcrumbs, then spoon them into the basin.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar and zest until fluffy and pale in color.
  4. Beat in the eggs gradually, then fold in the flour.
  5. Stir in the milk, then spoon the mixture into the basin.
  6. Cover with a double layer of greased foil and baking paper, pleated in the center to allow for the pudding to rise.
  7. Use kitchen string to tie the foil then place the basin in a steamer or a large pan of gently simmering water (the water should come about halfway up the sides of the basin).
  8. Steam for 1 1/2 hours, then turn out on to your serving plate. Serve with the toppings of your choice!
