Name: Baked fig pudding
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 100 gram butter, chopped; 2 teaspoon grated lemon rind; 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar; 2 eggs; 3/4 cup (110g) self-raising flour; 1/2 cup (160g) fig jam (or your favourite jam)

Ingredients

100 gram butter, chopped

2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup (110g) self-raising flour

1/2 cup (160g) fig jam (or your favourite jam)

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and flour a pudding basin (1 litre/4 cup capacity). If you don’t have a pudding basin, a Pyrex bowl works well.

2.In a small bowl, beat butter, rind and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time; beat until combined. Stir in sifted flour.

3.Place jam in the base of the pudding basin; pour the pudding mixture on top. Cover the basin with pleated greased foil to allow for expansion. Bake 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the pudding comes out clean.

4.Turn the pudding out onto a warmed dish and serve hot, with vanilla-bean ice-cream and extra jam, if desired.
