3 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp breadcrumbs 
175g Butter
175g golden caster sugar 
175g self-raising flour
3 eggs
2 tbsp milk
1 lemon
Brandy

    Heavily butter a 1 litre pudding basin.

    Mix the golden syrup with breadcrumbs and a splash of brandy, then tip into the basin. Beat the butter with the sugar and zest of the lemon until light and fluffy, then gradually add the beaten eggs. Fold in the flour and then add the milk. Spoon the mix into the pudding basin.

    Cover with a double layer of buttered foil and baking paper making a pleat in the center to allow the pudding to rise. Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the basin. Steam for one and a half hours. Turn onto a serving dish and serve with extra golden syrup drizzled over
