ingredients
- 220 g self raising flour
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 3⁄4 cup milk
-
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 cup boiling water
directions
- Pre-heat cooker for 20 minutes on high.
- Lightly grease a 6 cup capacity casserole dish or pudding basin.
- Sift flour and sugar into a mixing bowl.
- Combine melted butter and milk and add to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is well blended. Spoon into the casserole dish.
- Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and stir until the butter is melted. Pour gently over the pudding mixture.
- Place the casserole dish on a trivet in the cooker. Do not cover the dish or put water around it.
- Cover the cooker with lid and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- You may want to keep an eye on the pudding after the first hour and a half, especially if your cooker runs hot like mine. When I first made this pudding I overcooked it. While it still turned out fine, there wasn't as much sauce as I would have liked. If the pudding cooks faster than the recommended time, it still turns out okay if the cooker is turned on to the 'keep warm' setting until you're ready to serve.

This recipe was absolutely fantastic and unlike any other I've used. It was so easy, especially since you can put it on so far ahead of serving without tying up the oven and forget it whilst you get the main course done. An immediate favourite amongst even the most picky of my family (particularly with vanilla ice cream!). Many thanks.

Welcome to my 'about me' page. I live on the Gold Coast in Australia with my husband, two dogs and our bird. Since we bought our house over two years ago I have developed a taste for cooking and love this website! I spend countless hours on here saving and printing recipes I plan to try out when I find the time (and get a new kitchen!).
Apart from cooking, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two dogs. We have a staffy and a staffy crossed with Alaskan Malamut. I love taking them out for a walk and a run on the beach. They have so much energy and can spend hours chasing after a ball and swimming. But both also love nothing more than cuddling up next to us and getting a scratch behind the ears or on the belly.
My favourite cookbook is my maternal grandma's cookbook that she recently gave me. Her younger brother made the book for her when he was young and it has been sticky-taped and stuck together so many times in the last 60 or more years. But I love going through it and reading all the recipes she has written and stuck in there. I love making her recipe for date slice. She used to make it every Saturday and my brother and I used to try and help her and clean out the bowl when she'd finished.
My other favourite recipe to cook is my late paternal grandmother's recipe for apple shortcake. I've been making it since I was about 12 years old and I know the recipe off by heart. I've finally started to master rolling out the pastry so it comes out thin and crispy.
