Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) golden syrup
- 6 oz (180 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 oz (180 g) self-raising flour
- 4 oz (120 g) caster sugar
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- freshly squeezed juice of the half lemon
- 1/3 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Depending on the number of ramekins or slow cookers you have, you can cook 2-4 at a time.
Lightly grease each of the ramekins with butter, then pour 2 tablespoons of golden syrup into the bottom of each dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs, butter, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of syrup. Stir well.
Sift self-raised flour into the egg mixture and fold in. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla essence, and milk.
Spoon the mixture into each greased ramekin, filling to 1/2 hinge (1.25 cm) below the rim.
Now, take a sheet of cling film and place it over the top of the puddings. Twist the ends together to secure them in place.
Carefully transfer the dish to a slow cooker and add hot water to the slow cooker to reach ¾ of its height.
Close the pot and cook on a high-heat setting for 1½ hours.
The sponges should be cooked (press to check if they bounce back) before being turned out from the ramekins. This can be done by running a knife around the edge of each ramekin.
If the pudding sticks to the ramekin, tap the bottom of it.
