Ingredients

• 60 g Unsalted Butter
• 150 g Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 125 ml Milk
• 150 g Self-Raising Flour
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
• 250 ml Boiling Water
• 120 g Brown Sugar (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 1.5-liter baking dish.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or the microwave. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Sift the self-raising flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spoon or spatula.

Step 6

To make the sauce, sprinkle the second measurement of brown sugar (120 g) evenly over the batter.

Step 7

Drizzle the golden syrup over the top of the mixture.

Step 8

Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the batter. This ensures the water spreads gently without disturbing the batter.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding has risen.

Step 10

Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, as the sauce will thicken slightly during this time.

Step 11

Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
