Three Quarter hour pudding

Okay so this isn't something I have found on Pinterest but it is something new for me to try. When I was a child we had the missionaries in our home almost every day, and often we would have some popping in just to request this pudding..... not quite sure why it popped into my head tonight, but after a gorgeous Sunday Roast dinner I can't think of anything better than the gooey deliciousness of this pudding to top it all off.  So here goes...my first attempt..... will post pics if it works out...LOL

Three-Quarter Hour Pudding (Edmonds Cookbook)
1 cup Standard Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tblsp sugar
1 Tblsp butter
milk to mix (about 2/3 cup)

Syrup
2 Tblsps sugar
1 Tblsp golden syrup or honey
1 cup boiling water

Grease a 3-4 cup capacity steam pudding basin or heatproof bowl. Sift flour, bp and salt. Stir in sugar. Rub in butter. Add sufficient milk to mix to a soft dough. Transfer to prepared basin. Pour over syrup. To make syrup, dissolve sugar and golden syrup in the water. Do not cover the basin. Stand in a saucepan of boiling water (water to come halfway up sides of basin). Put lid on saucepan and steam for 45 minutes or until pudding is firm to touch. Serves 3 to 4.

This was Sis Aiono's favourite dessert when she was here on her mission, I used to double the mixture.

 

 okay so I have added a pic of the final product - (only one serve is shown..lol)  Soooo delicious and way simpler than I thought it would be.  I usually resort to the good ol microwave chocolate pudding when we want a nice warm pudding..... but I think I will be changing it up a little more often... Just as good as I remember it to be.  (turns out that this recipe isn't even in the current Edmonds cookbook... had to get the recipe from my Mum's older version)  

oh and I doubled the sponge recipe, but only did a single recipe for the sauce...just as well too, would have been waaaaay too much sauce if I had doubled that too!
