Mary Berry Treacle Sponge Puddings
Mary Berry Treacle Sponge Pudding is a soft, steamed dessert made with a light sponge mixture poured over a layer of golden syrup. When cooked, the syrup creates a glossy, sticky topping while the sponge stays moist and tender. It’s typically steamed rather than baked, giving it its traditional texture and deep flavour.

Instructions
-
Prepare the moulds: Grease each pudding mould lightly and add 1 tbsp golden syrup to the base.
-
Cream the butter and sugar: Beat until light and fluffy for the best sponge texture.
-
Add the eggs: Mix in eggs one at a time to avoid curdling.
-
Fold in dry ingredients: Add flour and baking powder, folding gently until combined.
-
Add milk and vanilla: Stir until the batter reaches a soft, smooth consistency.
-
Fill the moulds: Spoon the mixture into the moulds, leaving space for rising.
-
Cover securely: Seal each mould with a foil lid to keep steam inside.
-
Steam gently: Place in a steamer or saucepan and steam for 35–40 minutes until risen.
-
Test doneness: Insert a skewer—it should come out clean.
-
Invert and serve: Turn out the puddings onto plates so the syrup pours down the sides.
