Make The Recipe

  1. Grease the inside of a 2 litre pudding basin with butter.
  2. Get a large saucepan and place a heat-proof side plate in the bottom of the pan, upside down. Add 3 inches of cold water, and bring to the boil.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar until white and light.
  4. Beat the eggs and add bit by bit with the flour until all mixed.
  5. Fill the pudding basin 1/3 with syrup and add the sponge batter ontop, gently level the batter.
  6. Cover the pudding with grease-proof paper, creating a small fold in the middle of the paper to allow it to grow, then tie string around the top to secure the paper, and make a handle with the string. Gently lower the pudding into the pan of water and top the saucepan up with hot water so it comes half way up the basin. Then leave it on a simmer for 1 hour 30 mins.
  7. When it’s done, lift it out, remove the paper and string, run a knife around the pudding and then turn it out onto a rimmed plate. Serve with custard or ice cream.
