Ingredients

• 150 g all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 100 g light brown sugar
• 100 g unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 100 ml whole milk
• 250 g mincemeat
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 100 g dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the light brown sugar.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mincemeat, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pudding dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the golden syrup, heavy cream, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Slowly pour the butterscotch sauce over the pudding batter. Do not stir; it will create a luscious sauce at the bottom as it bakes.

Step 10

Place the dish on a baking tray to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with a drizzle of the butterscotch sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
