Apple Batter Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 apples, cored and sliced thickly (peel them if you like too)
2 tablespoons cooking fat or 2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons sugar
For the batter
100 g plain flour (all purpose)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
250 ml milk (can use half milk half water)
To serve
8 tablespoons golden syrup (approx)
0.5 (400 g) can evaporated milk (approx)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 220C/425\u00b0F.
Make the batter by sifting the flour into a bowl with the salt, make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and half of the milk.
Whisk for a minute or two until no lumps remain then stir in the rest of the milk.
Put the cooking fat into an oven proof dish and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
Working quickly, spread the apples evenly in the dish and pour over the batter mixture.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until browned and well risen.
Serve immediately with lashings of syrup and evaporated milk.
Tip: Place the jar of syrup in a bowl of hot water and it should be easier to manage.
