1. Butter a 1.1 litre (2 pint) pudding dish. Put the sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with electric beaters until pale and fluffy. Beat in the lemon zest and eggs (add a couple of tbsp of flour to help) then fold in the flour. Mix in 3 tbsp syrup. Put another 3 tbsp of the syrup in the bottom of the pudding dish. Spoon the sponge mix on top.
2. Clip on the lid or cover the basin with a pleated sheet of baking parchment and foil. Secure with string and cut off any excess paper/foil.
3. Put the basin in a steamer or in a large pan on an upturned saucer (to stop it touching the base of the pan) with simmering water coming a third of the way up the sides of the dish. Steam for 2 hours, checking the water now and again and topping up if needed.
4. Rest the pud for a couple of minutes before turning out (if you need to, use a palette knife to loosen). Heat the last 2 tbsp of syrup custard and pour over to finish. Serve with lots of cream or custard.

  So easy to make and tastes amazing with lashings of custard.

  Such a simple pudding to make - I managed to prepare the mix in less than 10 minsb. I made two puddings in individual pudding basins and steamed for 40 mins, and my husband's response was 'did you really make these so quickly, or did you buy them?', and then he polished his off before I could even blink! Definitely one for dinner parties, because they can be set to steam whilst guests are eating the main course.
