Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a two-pint heat-proof bowl or basin generously. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. (7 minutes)
03
Step
Gradually add the beaten eggs, incorporating them fully into the creamed mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract. (3 minutes)
04
Step
Gently fold in the self-rising flour, a little at a time, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
05
Step
Fold in the milk to create a smooth, dropping consistency. (2 minutes)
06
Step
Pour the 4 tablespoons of golden syrup into the bottom of the prepared basin, creating a luscious base. Carefully layer the batter over the syrup. (3 minutes)
07
Step
Cover the basin tightly with a layer of parchment paper, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Secure the edges to create a tight seal. (4 minutes)
08
Step
Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the basin on the towel to prevent it from direct heat. Carefully place the roasting pan on the oven rack. (2 minutes)
09
Step
Pour boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the basin, creating a gentle steam bath. (3 minutes)
10
Step
Steam in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and springs back lightly when touched. (90 minutes)
11
Step
Carefully remove the basin from the water bath and let it stand for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm with extra golden syrup drizzled over the top.
For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of salt to the batter.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Ensure the parchment paper and foil are tightly sealed to prevent water from seeping into the pudding during steaming.
The damp kitchen towel in the roasting pan helps to regulate the temperature and prevent the basin from overheating.
Serve with custard, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
