Steamed Treacle Sponge (no beer!)

This is a very popular children and male pud. It is also a fairly cheap way to feed a family.

2 eggs
Equal weight of stork marg,
SR flour and sugar
Golden syrup
2 pudding spoons of milk

Rub a pudding basin with the marg. paper and put 2 good spoonfuls of syrup into the bowl. If you have a magi mix, bung the whole lot in and pulse it 2 or 3 times or until just mixed. If you have a mixer put the marg and sugar in and blend with the beater then add the eggs and milk then the flour.

Either way spoon into the bowl and cover with cling film. Put a few prick holes into the film and cook in the microwave until its fully risen. If you are going to steam on the cooker, cover the pudding with tin foil and trap around the top well, then put the bowl into a saucepan with an inch or 2 of water, cover and steam for a good hour. This pud reheats if you are lucky enough to have any left!! Serve with a jug of custard.
