Simple Treacle pudding

Ingredients:
180g/6oz butter, softened, plus a little extra for greasing
3 tbsp golden syrup
180g/6oz plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
180g/6oz demerara sugar
1 tbsp black treacle

Method
Grease a 1litre or 1 3/4 pints microwaveable pudding basin with a little of the butter. Put the golden syrup in to the bottom of the basin.
In a separate bowl, using an electric hand whisk, mix the flour, baking powder, butter, eggs, sugar and treacle together until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into the pudding basin until three-quarters full, smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Loosely cover with clingfilm (allow room for the clingfilm to inflate as the mixture rises) and place in the microwave oven for five minutes.
The pudding is done when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to stand for five minutes, before turning out onto a deep plate. Serve with custard, whipped cream or ice cream - Delicious!!
