Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

2. Melt Butter and Maple Syrup:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Add Coconut:
- Stir in the dried coconut meat, ensuring that it is evenly mixed with the butter and syrup mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Mix Sugar and Vanilla:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Mix well to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed.
5. Incorporate Eggs:
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the sugar and vanilla mixture.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
6. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Pour the slightly cooled butter, syrup, and coconut mixture into the bowl with the sugar, vanilla, and egg mixture.
- Mix until fully incorporated.
7. Add Flour and Coconut Milk:
- Sift the self-raising flour into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid lumps.
- Gradually add the coconut milk, mixing continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
8. Bake the Pudding:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pudding dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with additional golden syrup drizzled over the top or a dollop of whipped cream.
