Description

This microwave sponge pudding has a texture that's between a sponge and a steamed pudding. You can add some jam or syrup for a sweet taste if you like.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup self-rising flour

Directions

1 Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Grandually mix in egg and milk, being careful the batter doesn't curdle. Sift in flour, then fold gently to incorporate. Transfer to a 1-pint microwave-safe bowl.
2 Cover and microwave on full power until pudding appears set when gently jiggled and the top is sticky, about 3 1/2 minutes. Serve hot.
