Ingredients:
- 1⁄4 cup jam (of your choice)
- 125g butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1⁄2 cup milk
Directions:
- Grease a pudding steamer or basin (8 cup capacity).
- Spoon jam into the base of the steamer.
- Beat butter, essence, and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs
one at a time, beat until combined. - Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, stir in sifted flour and milk in 2 batches.
- Spread the mixture into the steamer, cover with greased foil, secure with string or lid.
- Place the steamer in a large saucepan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the
steamer; boil, covered, about 1 1/2 hours or until firm. Replenish water as necessary. - When cooked, run a knife around the edge and then invert carefully onto a large plate. The jam will spill
over the entire pudding and look very pretty. - Slice and serve with custard, cream, or ice-cream. Enjoy!
