Microwave sponge pudding

Ingredients

Serves: 4 (aka 2)

• 50g (2 oz) butter
• 50g (2 oz) caster sugar
• 1 medium egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 50g (2 oz) self raising flour
• 2 tablespoons of jam or syrup

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 3 mins
1. 20 seconds in microwave for butter
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
3. Mix in the egg and milk gradually, so as not to curdle the butter.
4. Sift in the flour, and fold in gently.
5. Put 2-3 tablespoons of golden syrup, treacle, jam, or lemon curd (we added lemon curd in layers, which seemed to work nicely) in bottom of microwave-safe bowl. Pour in batter.
6. Cover, and cook for 2m30s (5 presses of 'start') on full power, or until the pudding appears set when gently jiggled, and the top is sticky. Serve hot.  Serves 2!
