How to Make Golden Syrup Puddings

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease 6-8 small (approximately 6-ounce) ovenproof ramekins or pudding molds with butter.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 lemon until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1/2 cup (120ml) milk and 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup (120ml) golden syrup with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Divide the syrup evenly among the prepared molds.
Pour the batter into each mold, filling them about 2/3 full.
Cover each mold tightly with baking paper, securing it with kitchen twine.
Place the molds in a larger baking dish. Add enough hot water to the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the molds.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the puddings from the oven and let them cool slightly in the baking dish.
Remove the baking paper and carefully invert the puddings onto serving plates.
Drizzle with extra warmed golden syrup (optional).
Serve warm with your favorite accompaniment – vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or custard are all excellent choices!
