    no milk in the sponge pudding?

    I was about about to add my sponge pudding recipe but someone else beat me with the recipe. No milk. It is LUSH with jam at the bottom. Or lemon, add some lemon juice and lemon curd at the bottom. So easy to knock together, takes around 5 mins start to finish.

    No microwave..... :eek: I don't think I could cope!! I have heard that it is more cost effective to microwave something like milk rather than turning on the cooker to heat it up. My son has around 10 cups of warm milk a day, I could not live without my microwave.

    Something like this? Just make sure your store cupboard contains a bar of chocolate!

    The obvious fruit crumble and custard, you can use fresh fruit or canned, or a tin of pie filling depending what you've got!

    bread and butter pudding, make some marmalade or jam sandwiches, pour in a couple of eggs that have been whisked up with milk, then put sugar over the top

    Don't forget to cook it! _pale_

  • Self saucing chocolate sponge

    3 eggs, weigh them (with the shells on) use the same weight of sugar, marg and flour and beat together. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of coca and beat again. Put into a buttered baking dish. Combine 1 tbsp cocoa, 2 tbsp sgar and half a pint of water and then carefully pour all over your cake batter. Bake at 180c for 30 - 40 mins. You get an amazing rich sponge with a gooey sauce that sink through the cake to the bottom of the tin.

    This is our goto emergency pud - I've also done it without the cocoa - useing chopped dates and watered down syrup as a sort of sticky toffee pud and that was yummy too.

    It is easy to adapt too - you can make it with just one egg to start with if you only want a small portion and scale down the sauce quantities to match.

    (For those of you with microwaves this can be done in the microwave)

    I know some people love jam sandwiches fried in butter - but don't think I could quite bring myself to try that!
    Or French toast (aka eggy bread or in my mum's house, golden glory) with cinnamon and sugar on top?

    We used to cook these got the recipe from Why Dont You when I was a kid!

    Jam sandwiches dipped in batter mix and shallow fried - sounds very nasty but was delish :)
