Golden syrup steamed pudding is a classic, comforting dessert that brings warmth to any meal with its sweet, caramel-flavored syrup and soft, fluffy texture. This traditional British pudding is particularly perfect for chilly evenings or festive occasions. Made with simple ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs, self-raising flour, and milk, it's surprisingly easy to prepare. Let's get started on creating this delightful treat!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Fill the base of a steamer or a large pot with water. Bring it to a simmer on medium heat. The water level should be just below the base of the pudding basin when it’s placed inside.
- Generously grease the inside of a pudding basin or heatproof bowl with butter. This ensures the pudding releases easily after steaming.
- Pour 3-4 tablespoons of golden syrup into the bottom of the greased pudding basin. Gently spread to cover the bottom evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use a whisk or electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Sift the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour, folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pudding basin on top of the golden syrup. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper and a piece of aluminum foil, both large enough to cover the basin with an overhang. Place the parchment paper over the pudding mixture and then cover tightly with the aluminum foil. Secure with string or kitchen twine around the rim to keep it firmly in place.
- Place the pudding basin in the steamer or large pot. Cover with a lid and steam for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the water level is maintained, adding more boiling water as necessary.
- Insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of the pudding. If it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If not, steam for an additional 10-15 minutes and test again.
- Once done, carefully remove the pudding basin from the steamer. Let it cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate. The golden syrup should run down the sides, creating a delectable sauce.
- Serve the golden syrup steamed pudding warm, possibly with a side of custard, cream, or vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Before you begin, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter.
- Grease the pudding basin well with butter to make sure the pudding can be easily removed after steaming.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with cream or even add a splash of vanilla extract.
- To ensure that the pudding is steamed evenly, cover the pudding basin with a sheet of baking paper and then tightly with aluminum foil.
- Keep an eye on the water level in the steaming pot, making sure it doesn't boil dry. Add more boiling water if needed.
With patience and a few simple steps, you can create a golden syrup steamed pudding that is both moist and delectable. This timeless dessert will surely impress your family and friends. Serve it warm with a drizzle of extra golden syrup, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of creamy custard for an unforgettable treat. Enjoy the nostalgic flavors and the comforting taste of this wonderful pudding!
