Syrup Pudding

This recipe is Maple Chomeur, however I'm not really the biggest fan of maple syrup so substituted this for ordinary golden syrup. This dish is so easy to make and is great for anyone with a sweat tooth. Personally, I think it's a great desert to have in the colder months - though you don't have to wait for cold weather to enjoy this pudding! 

To prepare the sauce, in a medium sized pot simmer for 3 or 4 minutes:

3/4 cup golden syrup

3/4 cup brown sugar
½ cup water
3 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Set aside to cool to lukewarm.

For the cake, begin by greasing a baking pan

1 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar

Place these dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix them together.

Then add 2/3 cup of butter into the mixture and mix, the mixture will be coarse - almost like a crumble.

To this mixture you then add 

3/4 cup milk

1tsp Vanilla extract 

Blend them in until the mixture becomes a batter.  Then pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Once you have done this, take the syrup mixture and pour this over the cake 
batter and bake for around 35 minutes at 350 F.

Serve in small portions if you can't handle the sweetness and add ice cream for a delicious desert!
