Fast and easy pudding made in the microwave, you'll end up with a 'steamed' light fluffy pudding.
Grease a 1L microwavable bowl (I prefer glass) and put the golden syrup in the bottom.
Mix the sugar and melted butter, then stire in the flour, baking powder, lemon juice and eggs.
The batter should be a thick dropping consistency. Add milk gradually and beat in if needed.
Spoon into the bowl to cover the syrup. Cover with a plate or other cover and microwave for around 4 minutes until the pudding is coming away from the edge of the bowl and lightly spongey on the top
Sit for a minute, then loosen around the bowl with a knife. Put a plate on top and turn upside down to turn the pudding out onto the plate.
Serve with custard (or cream).
Microwave power varies. An 800W takes about 4 minutes, so if yours is higher or lower wattage, increase or decrease the cooking time slightly.
The sponge pudding serves 4-6 people.
