Just wanted to say thank you for putting this online – the recipe is truly simple and absolutely delicious! I live in Canada and the flour is very different to that back in the UK so I haven’t been able to make a ‘real’ microwave pudding using any of my English recipes. I’m a lazy baker, so I melted the butter before adding it to the dry ingredients and it came out a treat.
love you to post your recipe im reading now on mydish.co.uk and you can put in a link returning to your site.
