You don’t need to go without dessert if all you’ve got is a few basics in the pantry and fridge. This simple pudding is an old-fashioned budget delight that you can whip up in no time at all.

Method

Step 1Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish.

Step 2In a large bowl, whisk sugar with butter. Whisk in egg until smooth and pale. Add flour and milk gradually, whisking to form a smooth batter. Pour into prepared dish.

Step 3In a jug, whisk together brown sugar, extra butter and 3/4 cup boiling water. Carefully pour syrup over batter. Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
Recipe Notes
I find it easier and safer to place the pudding on a tray in the oven before carefully pouring in the hot syrup.
