Assuming cornflour is cornstarch & golden syrup is maple syrup? Love the recipe just want everything to be right…
Hi Lynne, yes cornflour is cornstarch. Golden syrup is different from maple syrup but you can use that instead if you like! xx
Made this pudding tonight and it was a winner. It is light and fluffy and very tasty. Thanks for the recipe. Hubby says it’s to be filed under “five star recipes”!
Yay!! Yay!! I’m thrilled to hear that! xx
I love this – compared it to a butterscotch pudding I made years ago and this looks much fluffier – so will try it out – esp as it is such winter pudding weather and I love self saucing puddings.
Thank you! xx
So quick & easy! Thanks for this great recipe 🙂
Thank you!! xx
Hi Lucy. I want to make this now but have no cornflour. Can I use ordinary flour?
Hi Julie, I don’t think it would thicken enough with plain flour!
Looks yum, Could this be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven prior to serving?
I am going to someones place for dinner and would like to take this.
Hi Vicki, you could do every step except for pouring the boiling water over the top. You would need to wait until just before you pop it into the oven to do that!
Hey I’m Charlie, I was planning to make the recipe as follows but add slices of apple on the bottom to make this a apple butterscotch pudding, would this work well??
Sounds great!
Hi, not sure whist I did wrong but I had a bit of a disaster with this! i mixed it by hand, should i have used my kitchen aid? it wasn’t light and fluffy it was more of a steamed sponge texture. Also the sauce stayed on top an a kind of runny liquid was underneath the sponge..
It tasted nice but wasn’t anything like it should have been! Any ideas what i might have done wrong?
Hi Caroline, the texture is meant to be quite spongey as it’s cooked with so much liquid. You should end up with the sauce underneath – I’m not sure why yours was on top and bottom sorry!!
I made this yesterday and it was really tasty but my sauce was very thick, almost like jelly. Could it be cooked too long for my oven? Thanks
Hi Chloe, it could be the temp of your oven possibly running a little hot. Simply add a little more water next time if you prefer it runnier. xx
