Mandarin Self Saucing Pudding in the Microwave
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sifted self-raising flour
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 4 Mandarins, rind finely grated
- 60g butter, melted, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed Mandarin Juice
- 1 egg
- ice-cream, to serve
SAUCE
- 2/3 cup caster sugar
- 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed Mandarin juice
Lightly grease an 8cm deep, 6-cup capacity, heatproof, microwave-safe dish.
Combine flour, sugar and Mandarin rind in a bowl. Whisk together butter, juice and egg. Stir into flour mixture until well combined.
Spoon into prepared dish. Smooth surface.
For the Sauce:
Put sugar and Mandarin juice into a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl or jug. Cook on MEDIUM power for 3 minutes, stirring every minute, or until sugar dissolves.
Cook on HIGH (100%) power for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce comes to the boil. Pour hot sauce over the back of a large spoon to evenly cover the pudding.
Place pudding onto a microwave-safe rack or upturned dinner plate.
Cook, uncovered, on MEDIUM (50%) power for 8 to 9 minutes or until a skewer inserted around edges comes out clean but the centre is still a little sticky.
Cover tightly with foil. Stand for 5 minutes or until centre is no longer sticky. Serve with ice-cream.
