Ingredients

225 gram plain flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

110 gram butter

250 millilitre milk

240 gram golden syrup (or jam)

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C. Butter a 20cm x 25cm oblong ovenproof dish.

2.Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, then rub in the butter. Add 150ml of the milk and mix quickly to a soft dough.

3.Roll out onto well-floured baking paper and make a rectangle that is roughly 30cm x 15cm. Drizzle with golden syrup, leaving a 2cm margin free. Brush the top long edge with milk. Use the paper to help roll up to a log shape, starting from the short side.

4.Transfer to the prepared dish, brush the top with milk, then pour the remaining milk around the pudding.

5.Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

6.Cut into thick slices and serve with ice cream and some of the syrup.
