Butterscotch self-saucing pudding
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 170°C. Lightly grease a 1-litre capacity baking dish.
Step 2 Sift flour into a large mixing bowl and add half the sugar. Stir to combine. Place milk, egg, spread and 1 tablespoon golden syrup in a jug. Whisk until well-combined.
Step 3 Gradually whisk milk mixture into dry ingredients until well-combined and smooth. Pour batter into prepared dish and use the back of a spoon to smooth surface. Sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over batter.
Step 4 Combine remaining golden syrup with water and stir until well-combined. Carefully pour mixture over pudding.
Step 5 Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and set. Remove pudding from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before dusting with icing sugar. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt.
What we did

Beware this desert is extremely addictive xoxo
A very simple, impressive dessert. I made mine in a small rectangle baking dish and it cooked perfectly in 30 minutes.
absolutely delicious! The golden syrup flavour was subtle and not overly sweet at all and the sponge was extrememley moist and light. Nobody could tell it was a low calorie/fat version! The portioning was also perfect as it served six very substantial pieces!
