Apple And Golden Syrup Pudding Australia Recipes

Steps:

• FOR THE PUDDING: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then butter the inside bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Place casserole dish on a baking tray.
• Place apples in a medium, microwave-proof bowl, then sprinkle with sugar & water.
• Cover & microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until tender, then cool in the bowl for 10 minutes.
• Drain the apples & arrange them in the prepared casserold dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour & brown sugar.
• In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter & golden syrup, then add this mixture to the flour ixture & gently stir to combine.
• Spoon mixture over apples & smooth the surface.
• FOR THE SYRUP: Evenly sprinkle a second 1/3 cup of brown sugar over the pudding mixture.
• In a heatproof container, combine the second 1/3 cup of golden syrup with the boiling water, then drizzle this mixture over the pudding.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden & cooked through ~ If necessary, cover the pudding lightly with aluminum foil if/when the top is a deep golden.
• FOR A GARNISH: When finished baking, set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar (if using) & serve with ice cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar until pale and light. Beat in egg. Sift flour and sugar over the top and fold in, alternately with the milk and vanilla.
• Spoon golden syrup into the bottom of a 4-cup buttered pudding basin. Spoon pudding mixture on top of golden syrup. Cover the top of the basin with a circle of baking or waxed paper (or a circle of washed muslin or calico) cut so that it has a diameter about 2" wider than the top of the pudding basin, this is then put over the top, tied with string around the lip, and the excess paper or fabric turned up on top of the 'lid'. I often tie 'handles' of string on either side of the bowl to make the next step easier.
• Take a large saucepan that will more than fit in the pudding basin. I put an old saucer upside down in the bottom of the pan to stand the basin on. Fill the saucepan with water that comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Remove the bowl, put the lid on the saucepan, bring the water to a simmer, return the bowl to the pan, replace the lid on the pan. Steam for 75 minutes.
• Remove from water, rest for 10 mins, turn out onto a flat plate. Serve with cream and or ice-cream.
