This is a great pudding recipe because you can add whatever spare ingredients you have on hand. I have also added coconut, nuts, almond meal and have substituted golden syrup for jam in the past. It's so easy to pop this on the stove while you eat your dinner. This pudding is so versatile, always enjoyable!
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon jam (I use more, probably 3-4)
1 cup self raising flour
60g butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
Few drops of vanilla
2 x handfuls of chocolate chips (I use dark)
Olive oil spray
METHOD
- Spray a pudding mould with olive oil spray or grease with butter
- Place jam in base, set aside
- Cream butter and sugar, add egg, beat
- Stir in milk, flour, vanilla (I normally just beat slowly)
- Pour mixture into mould - Place mould in boiling water for 1.5 hours
- Turn out of mould, serve with custard or ice cream
