Method

Generously butter the inside of two 1.2 litre pudding basins.

Spoon 50g of golden syrup into the base of each basin.

Beat the remaining syrup, butter, sugar, and zest until fluffy.

Mix in the eggs and flour gradually until reaching a dropping consistency.

Fill the basins three-quarters full and smooth the tops.

Cover loosely with clingfilm and microwave each pudding for five minutes.

Wait five minutes, run a knife around the edge, and invert onto a plate.

Drizzle with extra syrup and serve with warm custard.
