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. Also, I tend to make more sauce than mum used to, I like it extra saucy, but what I've posted is the directions mum gave me (i.e. 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!

Time 10m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • COMBINE FOR DELICIOUSNESS: Pour all the sauce over the dough then put it in the microwave a cook on high for 7 minutes.
  • 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!
