Like yer pudding? you MUST try this

[MagnetsAndHangers]

Was wanting a sponge pudding after dinner tonight, but didnt fancy waiting for it cooking, so stumbled across the recipe below.
Including time to mix the ingredients, and cook it, it was done in under 10 minutes.
I must admit - when i put it in the bowl for the microwave - I didnt believe it would work.
The comments under the recipe are true - probably one of the best sponges puddings i have had.

Jam works in place of the syrup too - just spoon a couple of blobs of jam instead of the syrup, the micro melts it down. Chuck some raisins in for a lighter version of spotted dick, cocoa powder or hot chocolate powder for choc pud.
My mum taught me this recipe when I lived at home. We have pyrex cups that we keep specifically for emergency puddings - the mix divvys up into 4 cups, a couple of mins in the micro and ping. Boil the kettle at the same time, remove the jar of instant custard from the cupboard and presto - desert in no time with no effort

Cocoa powder or drinking chocolate in the instant custard for chocolate custard, or another muvva tip - blancmange mix - just pour it on instead of chilling it - chocolate, strawberry, banana custard...........

Youve brought back some childhood memories here M&H!

I'm planning to try honey instead of syrup

[phanmale]

I tried honey once, I wasnt keen, it didnt "hold" as well as syrup. Each to their own though, you might like it!!

Well it is a new adventure for me... so am using what I have in the cupboard... Honey not syrup.
Course if it doesn't work I'll pick some up next time I'm in town...
I'm using the honey from the bees out by the blueberry bushes. That honey has a distinct blueberry flavor to it... Might throw in a few dried blueberries too

Only one problem...

I need to double that recipe
