  • 1 1/4 cup (185g) plain flour ((all purpose flour))
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 100g / 7 tbsp unsalted butter (, melted)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) milk ((full or low fat))
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup ((Note 2))
  • 3/4 cup (150g) dark brown sugar (, packed (Note 2))
  • 2 tbsp cornflour / corn starch
  • 2 cups (500ml) boiling water
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
  • Grease a 6 cup baking dish (1.6L/1.6Q) with butter.
  • Butterscotch Sauce: Whisk sugar and cornflour in bowl. Set aside.
  • Pudding batter: Place sugar, flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Add butter, egg, milk and golden syrup. Whisk until mostly lump free.
  • Scrape into baking dish and smooth surface.
  • Sprinkle Butterscotch Sauce sugar mixture all over surface.
  • Pour boiling water over the surface over the back of a dessert spoon held as close to the batter as you can (to soften the pour so it doesn't break the surface of the batter).
  • Transfer to oven, bake 40 minutes or until skewer inserted into the cake part comes out clean.
  • Cut through pudding to reveal butterscotch sauce underneath.
  • To serve, scoop pudding into a bowl then douse with butterscotch sauce. Top with ice cream!
