Sticky Syrup Sponge

I love the sweet taste of this golden pudding and the soft, sticky texture. I remember my mum making this for me when I was dinky and it's still a favourite now, with or without custard. I like how it's so simple and fast to make, the Mini Mes made this one themselves.

Ingredients

4oz butter

4oz sugar

4oz self raising flour

2 eggs

6 tablespoons of golden syrup

Method

You can use jam as an alternative to syrup and make individual size portions too.

We used a Mermaid Pudding Basin while making this. You can find out more about Mermaid products here: http://www.mermaidcookware.com/

Project 366, 153/366 - A little treat

I received money and various vouchers for my birthday back in April and it only just hit me that I haven't actually used any as yet! I booked myself in for my usual acrylic nails and this time I went for a lovely shade of pink with some silver star gems on my thumbs and some nail art too.

What pampering and treats do you enjoy?
