This was the first recipe I ever had published. It appeared in a local paper the year before I started the blog. A school-friend was writing for the paper and asked for cooking-with-kids recipes to publish on the school holidays. I readily agreed. My photography was horrible, but the pudding was as delicious then as it is now!
I love it because it’s quick easy and (because you likely have all the ingredients already) you can make it on a after-dinner feeling-like-something-sweet whim. The other bonus is unlike microwave mug cakes it makes enough for a family!
This magic microwave pudding tastes like golden syrup dumplings and is ready in just eight minutes.

what’s your favourite after-dinner feeling-like-something-sweet treat?
I’d like to try this sometime when I fancy a treat and am short on time. What microwave wattage is used please? there’s a lot of variation out there. Thanks.
My microwave is 1200 watts Esther. If your’s has a lower wattage, I suggest extending the cooking time. 🙂
