This is my first recipe post ever. A perfect example of comfort food, especially good on a cold Wintery day. I live in New Zealand and mum used to make this on rare occasions but now I have a home of my own I make it all the time. I have no idea where the recipe came from since she always made it by heart; I never saw her use a recipe book. In New Zealand we don't use pounds and ounces so I've tried to convert this for American audiences. with the amount of sauce she used). NOTE: Is VERY filling but can be reheated the next day if you have leftovers. Being a guy I have no problem having leftover dessert for breakfast. ENJOY. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons golden syrup |
1/4 cup sugar |
56 g butter |
1 cup water |
1 cup plain flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
3/4 cup sugar |
milk, 1 small amount (probably less than half a cup) |
Directions:
1. SAUCE: In a microwave safe container combine all the sauce ingredients and cook on high til it's all melted together. Usually takes a couple of minutes to melt it all.
2. PUDDING: While the sauce is microwaving, get a large, microwave-safe bowl (I often use a casserole dish) and throw in all the Pudding ingredients except the milk then gradually add the milk while stirring until it forms a soft, moist dough. It's important to use a large bowl because the dough will rise quite a bit as it cooks.
3. COMBINE FOR DELICIOUSNESS: Pour all the sauce over the dough then put it in the microwave a cook on high for 7 minutes.
4. SERVE: You can have this on it's own but I like to have it either with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream. I'll use a Kiwi (New Zealand) saying meaning you'll like this - Sweet As! Enjoy!
