Microwave Sponge Pudding
"A very simple microwave sponge pudding in less than 15 minutes with a texture between a sponge and a steamed pudding. You may add 2 tablespoons of jam or syrup to the bottom of the final bowl. Serve hot with custard."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings
55 g butter
50 g white sugar
60 g self-rising flour
1 egg, beaten
30 ml milk
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and milk gradually, so as not to curdle the butter. Sift in the flour, and fold in gently. Transfer to a 1 pint microwave-safe bowl. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 minutes on full powder, or until the pudding appears set when gently jiggled, and the top is sticky. Serve hot.
