Microwave Sponge Pudding

"A very simple microwave sponge pudding in less than 15 minutes with a texture between a sponge and a steamed pudding. You may add 2 tablespoons of jam or syrup to the bottom of the final bowl. Serve hot with custard."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings
55 g butter
50 g white sugar
60 g self-rising flour
1 egg, beaten
30 ml milk
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and milk gradually, so as not to curdle the butter. Sift in the flour, and fold in gently. Transfer to a 1 pint microwave-safe bowl. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 minutes on full powder, or until the pudding appears set when gently jiggled, and the top is sticky. Serve hot.


Syrup Sponge Pudding

110 g margarine
100 g white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 ml vanilla extract
170 g self-rising flour
30 ml milk
60 ml maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a two pint heat proof bowl or basin. In large bowl, cream together margarine and sugar. Add, a little at a time, beaten eggs, vanilla and flour, until well mixed. Fold in milk to make a smooth consistency. Pour syrup in bottom of prepared basin and layer batter over the top. Cover basin with firmly tied parchment paper covered with foil. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place basin on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the basin. Steam in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until pudding springs back when touched. Invert onto serving plate and serve warm.
