30 Nov Golden Syrup Puddings

Last week Huletts sent me a hamper of their delicious syrups and invited me to take part in their tongue-twister challenge. Brett and I had a lot of fun trying our hand at the various phrases – click here see how we did! If you’d like to have a crack at it, click here to do the Tongue-twister challenge too! 
I used Huletts Golden syrup to make these easy and delicious Golden Syrup Puddings. The recipe is much like that of a cake, but the puddings are baked in a water bath and have a generous amount of golden syrup at the bottom which coats the puddings beautifully when inverted. They are best enjoyed warm with ice cream or plenty of custard.
