Method

  1. Butter and lightly flour a 1.2-litre pudding basin.
  2. Melt 4 tbsp of the golden syrup with 25g of the butter in a frying pan. Let everything bubble together for a couple of minutes then add the apple and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  3. Beat together the rest of the butter, the sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, self-raising flour and milk, then stir in the rest of the golden syrup.
  4. Put the toffee apple mixture into the pudding basin and spoon the flour mixture over. Cover with a double piece of foil or greaseproof paper, with a pleat across the centre.
  5. Tie on firmly with a piece of string. Cook in a steamer over simmering water for 11/2-2 hours (if you don't have a steamer, put an upturned plate into a deep saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, half-fill with water and add the pudding basin). Top up the water if you need to. The pudding is cooked when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Turn out onto a plate, scooping up any apple that gets left behind in the basin. Serve with custard.

    I would use Bramleys because the tartness offsets the sweetness of the toffee

    Why is lemon zest listed twice in the list of ingredients?
