Ingredients

  • 100g butter, plus extra for the basin
  • 200g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 85g light muscovado sugar
  • 100g sultanas
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • golden syrup and custard, to serve

Method

  1. Butter a small microwave-proof pudding basin. In a separate bowl, rub the butter into the flour and baking powder, then stir in the sugar and sultanas. Gradually add the eggs and milk to make a wet cake mixture.

  2. Spoon into the basin and make a deep hollow in the centre with the back of the spoon. Cover the basin with cling film, pierce with the tip of a knife and microwave on High for 4½-5 mins until well risen and firm to the touch.

  3. Carefully turn the pud out onto a plate and spoon over a generous amount of syrup. Slice and serve with custard.
