The pudding was delicious and its richness does really need that cream or ice-cream. Licking that bowl was quite a joy, something my sisters and I got to do as children and which still feels quite fun and indulgent.

I discovered the recipe 2 years ago and they are like soft bap rolls from bakers delight. A little bit hard on the outside and soft on the inside these are 100% fool proof. You need 2.5 hrs from start to finish so if you want them for lunch at midday just start at 9.00 am.
