Malva Pudding

Method

Pudding

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Whisk together the sugar and the egg until they are fluffy and turn lighter in colour. Add the jam, flour, baking powder and salt, and stir in until blended.
3. Pour in the milk, sprinkle it over the bicarb, and quickly whisk it together. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, cover with the lid or foil and bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Syrup

1. Melt the ingredients in a saucepan. Do not allow to boil but gently heat through.
2. Once the pudding is removed from the oven, pour over this sauce allowing it to soak through thoroughly.
3. Serve with Custard or Brandy Cream see below.

Brandy Cream

2. Add the brandy or essence and beat until well combined.
3. Chill and serve with the Malva Pudding
