Castle Puddings - Makes 4

These individual puddings can either be steamed or baked. Serve with your favourite hot sauce or custard. Try adding some chopped stem ginger for an interesting change.

Method

If baking in the oven, pre-heat to Gas 6, 200 centigrade. Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and seive the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Mix together well.

Take 4 individual pudding moulds and grease them well with butter. Half fill each one with the mixture and bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes. To check if they are cooked, push a skewer into the middle of the pudding. If the skewer comes out clean they are cooked. If steaming, place in the steamer for 30 minutes.

Serve hot with custard, or your favourite hot sauce.
