EASY TREACLE SPONGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the syrup, lemon zest, juice and breadcrumbs and spread over the base of a 1.5 litre baking dish.
• Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one by one. Stir in the flour and milk and dollop over the syrup. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden and risen, and a skewer poked into the sponge comes out clean-ish. Eat with lots of custard, cream or ice cream and extra dribbles of syrup.

GOLDEN SYRUP PUDDING

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar until pale and light. Beat in egg. Sift flour and sugar over the top and fold in, alternately with the milk and vanilla.
• Spoon golden syrup into the bottom of a 4-cup buttered pudding basin. Spoon pudding mixture on top of golden syrup. Cover the top of the basin with a circle of baking or waxed paper (or a circle of washed muslin or calico) cut so that it has a diameter about 2" wider than the top of the pudding basin, this is then put over the top, tied with string around the lip, and the excess paper or fabric turned up on top of the 'lid'. I often tie 'handles' of string on either side of the bowl to make the next step easier.
• Take a large saucepan that will more than fit in the pudding basin. I put an old saucer upside down in the bottom of the pan to stand the basin on. Fill the saucepan with water that comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Remove the bowl, put the lid on the saucepan, bring the water to a simmer, return the bowl to the pan, replace the lid on the pan. Steam for 75 minutes.
• Remove from water, rest for 10 mins, turn out onto a flat plate. Serve with cream and or ice-cream.

• Grease 6-8 small ovenproof moulds with butter.
• Beat butter, sugar & lemon zest together until pale and creamy. Add the milk and eggs and beat well. (Don't worry if the mix curdles). Sift in flour and fold flour in to mix.
• Combine golden syrup and lemon juice together and put an equal amount of syrup (not batter) into each mould then fill each mould with batter to about 2/3 full.
• Cover moulds with baking paper and tie of to seal. Place pudding into a baking dish and add water to baking dish. Water should come up only to halfway of the sides of the moulds.
• Bake puddings for approx 40 minutes.
• Remove the pudding and cool slighlty on a rack. Remove covers and turn puddings out onto serving plates.
• Pour some extra heated golden syrup over them before serving if desired.
• Serve with ice-cream, cream or custard.
