Pudding Craving

Hi, I'm 22 weeks pregnant and really, really, really want a hot pudding right now! We dont normally have puddings - so dont really know what to cook. Just want something quick, easy, sweet and simple! Not asking much am I? We dont like hot fruit - but anything else goes - have all basic store cupboard ingredients - please wet my appetite!:rotfl:

    Dont know if this answers the call of sweet pudding, but how about pancakes with jam or lemon juice or sugar?
    Basic ingredients- egg/flour/water

    Hi there a quick micro sponge any good? not as nice as steamed..but a great quickie...

    2oz butter
    2 oz sugar
    2oz sr flour
    1 egg
    throw it in the mixer..turn on and blitz...
    get a decent sized pudding dish put some jam/syrup in the bottom..dollop sponge mix on top, cover with cling film and nuke in the micro.. 2 mins to start with, then another couple if it needs it ...keep an eye on it as they can take over the dish ;)

    you can easily double this - throw in a spoon of cocoa etc.. if the mix seems a bit to stiff add a drop of milk....

    You are welcome D&DD....

    they are nicer when steamed.. but when desperate for something sweet one evening i figured it was quicker to do that than go to the shop :p ... but they need eating whist warm as they dry out quickly... but getting them eaten isnt usually a problem;)

    Toffee pud

    Cut a thick slice of white bread into cubes and soak in warm milk for a minute or two.

    Melt together a tbsp of butter, 2 tbsp of golden syrup and tbsp of demerara sugar.

    Put soaked bread in a bowl and pour over syrup mixture.

    Eat with a big spoon and a big grin ;)
