The Old Farmhouse Bakery Hollygog Pudding - Golden Syrup Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

225 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 pinch salt
115 g chilled butter, diced
3 tablespoons cold water
6 tablespoons golden syrup
250 ml whole milk
custard or cream

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.
Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the water and knead to form a stiff dough. Roll out onto a floured work surface to form a rectangular strip about 3.5cm thick. Spread over the golden syrup evenly and roll up like a Swiss roll.
Put into a buttered ovenproof dish and pour in enough milk to come about half-way up the side of the pudding. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown.
To serve, cut the roll into slices while still hot, and drizzle over the custard or cream.
