Ingredients

1 cup strawberry jam (or jam of choice)

100 gram butter, at room temperature, chopped

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 1/2 cup plain flour

3 teaspoon baking powder

vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method

1.Lightly grease 6 x 3/4-cup ramekins. Line bases with baking paper. Spread 2 tablespoons jam over each ramekin base.

2.In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla together until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

3.Sift flour and baking powder together and fold into creamed mixture. Spoon pudding mixture into ramekins, smoothing top.

4.In a wok, bring 5cm water to boil on high. Place ramekins in a steamer basket. Cover ramekins with a large piece of baking paper and the lid. Place over water and reduce heat to medium. Steam for 15-20 minutes, until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Check water level (see Notes).

5.Run a knife around the outside of the puddings and turn onto serving plates. Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.

Check water level in wok half-way through cooking and top up with more boiling water if necessary.
