Jodie Alice Fisher A personal blog from the heart of a young Mum
School holidays when you are a work at home mum is all about balancing everything. I’ve struggled in the first few days to accept the fact I’m getting a million demands in one hour let alone the full day! One particular day had been pretty darn stressful, we’d had yet more bad news for the car and panic set in a bit. I found my patience was running rather thin and we all needed a distraction so I decided to bake. I find baking Mini Syrup Sponges to be pretty easy so I let P2 bake all by herself except the weighin of ingredients. Here’s our recipe.

A delicious pudding using Golden Syrup. A quick and easy pudding idea for gatherings.

Cook Time
25 min
Total Time
35 min
Ingredients
- 4 Ramekin dishes
- 4 tbsp Golden Syrup
- 125g Softened Butter
- 125g Caster Sugar
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 125g Self Raising Flour
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 5 tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Use softened butter to grease ramekin dishes and then spoon 1tbsp golden syrup into the bottom of each.
- Beat together the softened butter and caster sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in 2 medium eggs.
- Fold in self-raising flour, ground ginger and milk until smooth.
- Divide among the dishes. Cover each tin separately with foil and put into a roasting tin. Pour into the roasting tin enough boiling water to fill up to half of the dishes. Pop in oven for 25min or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in tins for 5min then run a knife or spoon around inside of tins to loosen. Turn out on to plates and drizzle over extra syrup if you like. Serve immediately with custard or cream.
Notes
- These can be popped into the fridge and reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds the next day.

I am gonna give this a go with little J. he is so keen on baking
Great news. Hope you had fun!
These look delicious, and so easy too! It’s great to get kids involved with cooking.
Thank you. We always have great fun!
These look fab. My daughter loves baking so i’m always looking for recipes to do with her x
These are fantastic!
They look perfect!!! Plus it looks relatively easy to do so surely I can’t go wrong!
Hopefully not. I’m a rubbish baker and even I can manage these.
It’s so hard to find the right balance between working from home and looking after the kids, especially when they’re on holidays. I must admit, the last 6 weeks have been great fun but i’ve struggled to keep up with work and am secretly looking forward to getting back to normality next week. I love the sound of these mini syrup sponges, especially as they’re so quick and easy to whip up! xx
They are so cute and so easy. We love them. I can’t wait for normality too!
Thanks for sharing the recipe, they look lovely and pretty straightforward to make. I’m sure Sophie would love to help me make them! x
I think they’re really cute!!
this does look like a great idea to bake with kids. I bet they love seeing the puddings rise in the oven x
It was lots of fun!
