Syrup Sponge Pudding (Microwave)


This is a lovely nostalgic recipe - a real winter warmer.
Ingredients
60g dairy and soya free margarine
60g granulated sugar
2 eggs
120g self raising flour
8tbs golden syrup
Preparation
1) Whisk/beat all of the ingredients (except the syrup) together in a mixing bowl.  
2) Put the syrup in a microwave suitable bowl, add the other ingredients on top.
3) Cook on medium power in the microwave for 2.5 - 3 minutes, check the sponge consistency and put in for a little longer if not springy.
4) Leave to stand for a few minutes and then turn out onto a plate.
5) Serve immediately.
This is delicious served with custard (dairy and soya free custard can be made using custard powder and suitable milk, follow the instructions on the packet). 

It's possible to prepare all of the mixture in advance and just microwave when you are ready to eat it.

One of the problems with making this in the microwave is the possibility of it being dry, which is why I use so much golden syrup (and I like it lots!), however you may want to experiment with different amounts of syrup and go with what works for you!
