Ingredients
100g gluten-free self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
100g caster sugar
100g unsalted butter, softened
2 large free-range eggs
3 pieces of stem ginger, crushed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 tablespoon stem ginger syrup
Method
- Butter four small ramekins or individual pudding moulds.
- Mix together the golden syrup and the stem ginger syrup and divide between the pudding moulds.
- Sieve the flour, baking powder and ground ginger together. Mix with the remaining ingredients until they only just come together: don’t over-beat it or the sponges will be too dense.
- Spoon the mixture into the pudding moulds over the syrup and gently flatten out. Lay each pudding mould on the centre of a large sheet of foil and bring up the foil over the puddings, twisting at the top to form a loose parcel.
- Place the puddings in a steamer over a pan of simmering water. Put the lid on the steamer and steam the puddings for 20 minutes, checking that the water doesn’t run dry.
- Remove the puddings moulds from the steamer and remove the foil carefully. Invert the puddings onto a serving plate. Serve with a little extra syrup and either cream or custard.
