Jan Ellis Pudding
In all honesty, I do not know the true origins of this recipe – It’s one that was passed down from friend to friend. However, I couldn’t be more grateful for this recipe as it’s easy to make, a definite crowd pleaser and will always leave guests wanting more.
It’s super sweet – so pair it with some ice cream or cream.
3 stages
Stage 1: Baking the Sponge
Ingredients:
5 ml Baking soda
½ cup of milk
1.5 cup of self-raising flour
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tbs apricot jam
25 ml butter
1ml salt
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°
Grease oven proof dish
Dissolve baking soda in milk
Mix all dough ingredients together, stir milk into mixture
Pit mixture into dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
(In all honesty, I always bake this a bit longer. I find the middle is always a bit doughy. So, wrap some tin foil over and put back in oven for another 5 minutes.)

1 cup cream
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
5ml vanilla essence
Method:
Heat all ingredients for the sauce, bring to boil
Stage 3: Now lets put it together!

Leave sauce to draw in sponge
Serve warm!
