Treacle Sponge

Serves 4 as Dessert.

Always popular.

If you don't have self raising flour use general purpose or pastry flour and add a tsp of baking powder(baking soda)

For Golden Syrup use corn syrup or light treacle

Of course, a suet treacle pudding is even finer..

• 120 g Butter
  
• 120 g Sugar
  
• 120 g Self raising flour
  
• 2 eggs, beaten
  
• 4 T Golden Syrup
  

Cream butter and sugar. Sift the flour and add to the creamed mixture a little at a time together with the eggs.

Grease a 2pt pudding basin, and put the syrup in the bottom. Fill with the mixture, which will look surprisingly little at this stage, but don't worry, as it wil expand. Cover and tie down, and steam for 2 hours.

Serve with custard, and more warmed syrup.

If you are in a hurry you can microwave for 4 minutes exactly instead of steaming.
