Treacle Pudding


Ingredients
Butter for greasing basin
10 tablespoons golden syrup ?
115g softened butter
115g caster sugar ?
1 lemon, finely grated and juiced
1 orange, finely grated and juiced
2 medium eggs
115g self-raising flour, sifted



Directions
Using the top of an 850ml pudding basin as a template, cut out a greaseproof paper
lid. Liberally butter the inside of the basin and measure 4 tablespoons syrup into the
bottom. Set aside.

Beat together the butter, sugar and citrus zest until pale and fluffy, then gradually
beat in the eggs. Add half the orange juice and half the lemon juice. Finally, fold in
the flour and spoon evenly into the pudding basin. Gently press the greaseproof paper
onto the sponge mix before pleating a *** of foil and tightly covering the bowl.

Place in a large saucepan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up its sides.
Cover and return to the boil. Continue to boil over a moderate heat for 2 hours,
replenishing the water regularly so that it never becomes too low. The pudding is
ready when well risen and firm to touch.

Remove from the pan and leave to rest for a minute or two. Meanwhile put 6 tablespoons
golden syrup with the remaining lemon and orange juice in a small saucepan. Gently
heat, mixing all the ingredients together.

Loosen the pudding with a palette knife, before turning it out onto a warm dish. Serve
with the hot sauce.

I made these cookies not too long ago

I substituted light molasses, which I had on hand, for golden syrup,
which is not to be found here. That's what was recommended by the
recipe. I don't know how this compares to golden syrup but the cookies
were great. (I added walnuts and golden raisins, just to kick them up
a notch.)

I think I'll try this pudding recipe, too.
