Quick Steamed Jam Pudding

My weeks usually finish with me exhausted on the couch with a glass of wine watching 'Better Homes and Gardens' - quite a contrast to how Friday nights were in previous years! I'm doing well if I can make it to the end of the show.

A few weeks ago this recipe came up and it looked like a great quick one to make. You can watch the video of it here! Surprisingly it is made in the microwave with a very, very short cooking time.
I'm not a huge fan of stodgy hot puddings but this was a hit with the family. I made it in quite large coffee cups. It would probably be better in smaller cups.

We used jam and passionfruit curd - both were really nice.
It definately needs custard to serve it with.



Quick Steamed Jam Pudding 
Ingredients
115 g butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1 cup self raising flour
1/3 cup Milk
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Jam per serve

Method
Beat butter and sugar until well combined and light.
Add eggs and mix until combined
Fold in the flour, milk and vanilla
Grease the cups with butter
Spoon about tablespoon of jam into the bottom of each cup.
Add the mixture carefully by spooning it around the sides first, then finally in the middle to prevent the jam being pushed up the sides.
Cover with a paper towels
Cook at 700 watts for about 5 mins (about 70 % power)

Make sure it is cooked on top by gently pressing
Run a knife around the edges then invert on a plate.

Serve with custard.
