10 Minute Microwave Sponge Pudding!!

This recipe is a real winner for busy Mums and Dads, or anyone who needs pudding quickly (you know the times, when you are having pudding withdrawal!) It is especially good on snow days like today, once you're in from sledging and snowman building, and want something warm and comforting! 

It takes under 10 minutes from 'raw' ingredients to a finished pudding to serve a family. You can make it any flavour you like and put anything you like on top really. I have very fond memories of this pudding as a child, we usually had jam or golden syrup as the topping and served it with lashing of custard, but you could do anything you imagine. Chocolate would obviously always be yummy, but I think I might try a toffee and apple one sometime! This recipe will serve a family of 4 and could be easily doubled or halved.
