Microwave Sponge Pudding

Ingredients

50g butter
50g caster sugar
50g self raising flour
1 medium egg, beaten
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp of jam or syrup

Method

1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
2. Mix in the egg and milk gradually, so as not to curdle the butter.
3. Sift in the flour, and fold in gently.
4. Put 2 tbsp of golden syrup, treacle or jam in the bottom of a microwave-safe bowl, then pour in the batter.
5. Cover and cook for 3 1/2 minutes on full power, or until the pudding appears set when gently jiggled, and the top is sticky. Serve hot.
