Description

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons smooth apricot jam/apricot preserves
• 2 teaspoons white spirit vinegar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup (you can also substitute maple syrup/honey)
• ¾ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups (500ml) whipping/heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons icing sugar
• 2 cups shop-bought vanilla custard

Directions

• To make the ice cream, whip the cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form.
• Fold in the vanilla custard then place in a freezer-safe dish and press a piece of baking paper/parchment paper onto the surface of the ice cream. Place in the freezer and allow to freeze for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
• To make the pudding, pre-heat the oven to 180°c and grease a 20cm baking dish (alternatively, use smaller oven-proof dishes for individual portions).
• In a large saucepan, melt together the butter, sugar, apricot jam and vinegar until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Sift the flour then add to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing well after each addition.
• Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
• Add the baking soda and salt and mix well.
• Pour the batter into the prepared dish/dishes and place in the oven.
• Bake for 30-45 minutes until the pudding dark brown and baked through (a skewer inserted should come out clean).
• While the pudding is baking, prepare the syrup.
• Bring all the syrup ingredients to a boil and reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
• Pour the syrup over the pudding as it comes out of the oven.
• Allow to stand for 20 minutes then serve with scoops of the frozen custard.
