- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 30 x 20cm baking dish. Mix the first four ingredients together. Melt the treacle, butter and sugar together in a large saucepan, then stir in the dry ingredients, half of the chopped ginger, the egg and milk to give a smooth batter.
- Spoon into the baking dish, then sit the pear halves in the batter. Dot more butter over each pear half and sprinkle with a little more sugar. Bake for 1 hr until risen all over and a skewer inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean.
- To serve, scatter the rest of the ginger over the fruit, then drizzle all over with syrup from the jar. Serve in rectangles with custard, below.
Quick custard
Mix 2 tsp cornflour with a little milk until smooth. Place in a medium non-stick saucepan along with 300ml double cream, 4 large egg yolks, 85g-100g caster sugar, seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod and the rest of the milk, and whisk together. Keep the pan over a low-medium heat; then, whisking or stirring all the time, bring just to the boil, until thickened. If not serving straight away, cover the surface with cling film, then reheat to serve.
