Recipe Reviews
This worked a treat, only extra I did was I set my microwave to 600 so it didn't suddenly over cook and over flow.
Tried recipe for first time tonight, turned out beautifully light and tasty. Will definitely be making it again
5 mins in microwave, you have got to be kidding, the syrup started smoking after just 2 minutes.
First time making anything like this in my ancient microwave. Could have done with a guide to power levels. My pudding nearly came over the basin but just caught it in time. But not too bad for 1st attempt
So easy and so good. My track record is poor for puddings, maybe because I don’t have a sweet tooth and my heart isn’t in it. Anyway cooked this for my 4 (big) sons tonight and it was absolutely delicious and served 6 of us comfortably. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Yes a quick and easy recipe, it was very tasty I halved the ingredients as it was only for the two of us, added more golden syrup as suggested and it worked fine.
