Hi:

Here it 'tis --

4 oz softened butter
1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
Grated rind of one lemon

1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
2 tsp milk
4 Tbsp Golden syrup*

4 Tbsp Golden syrup*
2 Tbsp water
Juice of one lemon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Cream butter & sugar in a bowl until
soft and fluffy. Add the eggs and the lemon rind. Mix together the flour,
baking powder & salt. Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Add
the milk.

Grease a pudding mold that holds approx. 3 cups and pour 4 Tbsp of Golden
Syrup over the bottom. Put the sponge cake mixture batter on top. Cover
with a loose-fitting sheet of foil and place in an ovenproof dish or
pan in 1 inch of water.

Bake for approx. 45 minutes or until the sponge cake has set & the top
has turned a light golden color.

Turn the pudding onto a serving dish, being sure to scrape out all
the syrup at the bottom of the pan. Heat the remaining syrup, water
and lemon juice in a double boiler for about 5 minutes. Pour over the
pudding and serve.

* I found Golden Syrup in a store that imports foodstuffs & gifts from
the UK. The closest equivalent in the US if you can't find Golden Syrup is
"Light Corn Syrup." It is not exactly a match, but will probably work.

Serves == About 6.
