Self Saucing Butterscotch Pudding - Real Recipes from Mums

A quick and easy self saucing pudding. Loved so much by all the family, I usually double the recipe.

Ingredients (serves 6)

1 cup SR Flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
60 g Butter, melted
1/2 cup Milk
2 tbs Golden Syrup
1 1/2 cups Boiling Water
30 g Butter

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl.
Add melted butter and milk, combine thoroughly.
Pour into greased baking dish.
To make the butterscotch sauce: Combine the 2 tablespoons of golden syrup, 1 1/2 cups of hot water and 30g of butter in a saucepan, stir over low heat until butter melts.
Pour butterscotch sauce over pudding carefully.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Notes

I sometimes reduce the amount of sugar in the pudding mixture, down to 1/2 cup. When pouring the butterscotch sauce over the pudding mixture, pour it over the back of a spoon, this will allow the sauce to gently fall onto the pudding mixture without putting holes in the pudding.

You can not bet a butterscotch pudding for comfort food. This should be better then the package ones you can get plus it is made with love.
