Ingredients
For the pudding:
125g plain flour
3 level tsp baking powder
125g caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 banana, mashed
250ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
85g butter, melted
For the topping:
100g soft brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
150ml boiling water
To serve:
Softly whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the caster sugar. Mix together the beaten egg, the mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to mix until combined. Pour this wet dough into a 1.25-litre (2¼ pint) pie dish and place the dish on a baking tray.
To make the topping, Put the brown sugar, golden syrup and boiling water into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then drizzle it all over the pudding. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until it feels slightly firm in the centre. Serve with vanilla ice cream or softly whipped cream. If you are not going to serve the pudding immediately, keep it somewhere warm until you are ready — it sits quite happily.
