Ingredients

• 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams Caster sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 100 grams Self-raising flour
• 2 oranges Orange zest
• 4 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 4 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 1 knob Unsalted butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Prepare 4 individual pudding basins or ramekins by greasing the insides thoroughly with a small amount of butter.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of golden syrup to the bottom of each pudding basin.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat the eggs in one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Sift in the self-raising flour, then gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula or spoon, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Add the orange zest, orange juice, and milk, folding the mixture once more until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 7

Divide the mixture evenly between the pudding basins, making sure to leave some space at the top for the puddings to rise.

Step 8

Cover each basin with a piece of greaseproof paper followed by foil, tying securely with kitchen string to create a tight seal.

Step 9

Place the pudding basins in a large saucepan or steamer basket. Add enough boiling water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the basins.

Step 10

Cover the saucepan with a lid and steam the puddings over a medium heat for 35 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the water hasn't boiled dry and topping up with boiling water if necessary.

Step 11

Carefully remove the basins from the pan, taking care as they will be very hot.

Step 12

Run a knife around the edges of each pudding to loosen, then turn them out onto plates. Serve warm with custard, cream, or a drizzle of additional golden syrup.
