Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding is my all-time favourite dessert.
I’ve been eating this particular recipe for Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding since I was young and I hope to pass it on to my boys for them to make for their families one day. Serve it with ice cream or cream!
Just don’t be stingy on the Golden Syrup.
You will need a Pudding Steamer to cook this Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding – they are pretty cheap. They look like this:
If you remember your Grandmother’s Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding – then get excited – because this is a Traditional recipe – one that my own Grandmother used to make – and it is so buttery and delicious – there just cannot be a better recipe anywhere. Best of all – it only contains basic ingredients – nothing fancy. You will most definitely already have the ingredients ready to go in your fridge and pantry right now.
The only negative about this amazing comfort food is that it really needs to be eaten within 24 hours of making it – or it goes meh…
Don’t be stingy on the Golden Syrup either – I always add two, sometimes three times the amount of syrup. If you aren’t a huge fan of golden syrup (we can’t be friends) – you can have jam instead!
Serve the Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding with vanilla ice cream or double cream. You can also make some homemade custard if you like!
Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding is best made in one of those traditional Pudding steamers – but you can use a large noodle bowl as long as you keep an eye on the water level!
