The Old Farmhouse Bakery Hollygog Pudding Golden Syrup Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Place golden syrup into bottom of the pudding dish.
• In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar well.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Add flour slowly.
• Add vanilla.
• Pour batter on top of the golden syrup.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on medium .

Steps:

• Pudding:.
• Grease a 4 cup pudding basin.
• Sift flour.
• Beat butter and sugar well until creamy in texture.
• Add eggs one at a time beating well between each one.
• Fold in 1/4 of the flour, 1/4 of the milk and continue till all flour and milk is used. Mixture should be at a dropping consistency.
• Put mixture into greased pudding bowl. Cut and grease a circle of baking paper that will cover pudding bowl, put grease side down put lid on or cover with 2 layers of aluminum foil and tie around the bowl.
• Put pudding bowl into a saucepan of boiling water (make sure water comes 1/2 way up the pudding bowl) and gently simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Check occasionally to make sure water does not go too low.
• When cooked test with a skewer (should come out clean). Turn onto plate and cut to serve.
• Pour a little of the syrup on slice, then hot custard if having.
• Syrup:.
• Combine golden syrup and honey in a microwave container and heat in microwave to combine OR.
• Combine golden syrup and honey in a heat proof container and sit container in a small pot of simmering water stirring to combine and melt to a runny consistency.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.
• Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add the water and knead to form a stiff dough. Roll out onto a floured work surface to form a rectangular strip about 3.5cm thick. Spread over the golden syrup evenly and roll up like a Swiss roll.
• Put into a buttered ovenproof dish and pour in enough milk to come about half-way up the side of the pudding. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown.
• To serve, cut the roll into slices while still hot, and drizzle over the custard or cream.

Steps:

• Mix all the dried fruit together, and then add the citrus peel, flaked almonds, spices, ground almonds and salt - blend thoroughly.
• Work in the breadcrumbs, sugar and softened butter, mixing well.
• Stir the beaten eggs into the mixture and then gradually add the brandy or rum and the stout. Mix thoroughly until a soft dropping consistency has been achieved.
• Butter two large (2 pint) pudding bowls and spoon half the mixture into each bowl - smoothing down the surface slightly.
• Cover with greaseproof paper and muslin pudding cloths or aluminum foil, and tie them down around the rims, making a loop for a handle to lift the pudding basins out of the steamer later!
• Boil the puddings in an open pan or in a steamer for 6 hours - making sure that the water is topped up when necessary.
• You can also steam these puddings in a pressure cooker - please follow your manufacturer's instructions.
• Remove the greaseproof paper, cloths/ aluminum foil and cover with fresh greaseproof paper and a clean pudding cloth or foil.
• Store in a cool place for up to 2 months, although I have kept these puddings for nearly a year!
• On Christmas day, boil or steam for a further 4 hours.
• To flame the puddings: Turn out the puddings onto a plate. Heat up a tablespoon or two of brandy in a small saucepan until it is warm but NOT boiling, and then pour the hot brandy into a ladle - take the pudding to the table with the ladle and light the ladle with a match - BE CAREFUL! Pour the burning brandy over the pudding and remember to turn the lights out for maximum ooohs and ahhhhs!
• Serve with Brandy Butter, Rum Sauce, Custard or Cream. Don't forget the sprig of holly too!
• Each pudding serves 6 to 8 people.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to moderate.
• Grease small ovenproof round moulds with butter.
• Beat the butter and sugar together and add lemon zest, beat ingredients together until pale and creamy.
• Add the milk and eggs, and beat well. (The mixture may curdle at this point, do not worry). Sift in flour and fold through mixture.
• Combine Golden Syrup and lemon juice and divide equal amounts between the moulds. Fill each mould with batter to about 2/3 full each.
• Cover each mould with baking paper and tie to seal. Place the puddings in a baking dish and fill dish with water to come up half way to the sides of the moulds.
• Bake 40 minutes.
• Remove the puddings from oven and cool slightly on a rack. Remove paper and turn puddings out onto serving plates.
• Serve immediately with ice cream or custard.
• N.B. I poured some extra warmed Golden Syrup over these puddings before I added cream to serve.

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.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again.
• Sift in the flour and fold through.
• Grease a 1 litre microwave safe bowl.
• Add the syrup to the bowl and gently spoon the cake mixture over the top.
• Cover bowl with cling wrap.
• Place bowl on an upside down microwave safe plate and cook at 60% heat for 7 minutes.
• Serve hot with ice-cream and cream.
