6-minute Banana And Caramel Sponge Pudding

Total Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 ounce sugar
• 2 ounces self-raising flour
• 1 ounce butter or 1 ounce margarine or 1 ounce sunflower oil
• 1 banana, sliced
• 2 tablespoons thick caramel sauce

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl mix the egg, sugar, flour and butter (or butter substitute) together until light.
• 2 in a 1 pint microwave safe bowl put the sliced banana and spoon the sauce over.
• 3 spoon the sponge mix over the banana and caramel.
• 4 cover with cliingfilm and pierce and microwave for 2 and a half minutes (mine is 850w oven).
• 5 the sponge should rise beautifully - it should be firm to the touch on top but still have a bit of a wobble.
• 6 leave it sit for 3 minutes (this for me is the hard part).
• 7 serve hot with custard (my preference is cold with a hot pudding), a scoop of good vanilla ice cream or whipped or pouring cream.
• 8 alternatives: i've done this with roasted rhubarb (with a little powdered ginger). would be good with golden syrup, fruit jam, perhaps sliced tinned pear and chocolate desert sauce. the possibilities abound.
• 9 i've also done this with half oz sunflour and half oz apple sauce and felt very virtuous.
