Pudding time again.... Steam Puddings are such comfort food in winter, all warm and syrupy served with creamy hot custard. If you think you cannot enjoy these puddings because they are gluten-free, I assure you this steam pudding compares to those in any restaurant - soft, moist and delicious. Why not make one using this recipe - you will love it....

Ingredients:

150g Butter, melted
90g Caster Sugar
4 Eggs
1/2 cup Pineapple Juice
300g gluten-free Self Raising Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 tin Crushed Pineapple,approx 250g, drained.
3 tablespoons Golden Syrup
Extra butter to grease the pudding tin

Method:

Grease the pudding bowl with extra butter.
Place the crushed pineapple and golden syrup into the base.
In another big bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients and combine until smooth.
Pour into the pudding bowl.
Wrap the top with a baking paper, then aluminium foil.
Close the lid.
Put the pudding bowl in a deep saucepan with a rack in the bottom.
Pour boiling water into the saucepan till halfway up the pudding bowl.
Cover with lid and boil on medium/low heat for 90 minutes.
Keep a check on the water level in the saucepan as extra boiling water may need to be added to the saucepan.
Turn the pudding out onto a plate when it is still warm.
