Method
- Grease a 1.2ltr pudding basin and line the base with greased nonstick baking paper. Pour in the golden syrup and set aside.
- Sift the flour into a bowl; add the butter, eggs and sugar, then beat with an electric whisk for 1 min or until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips; spoon into the pudding basin.
- Cover the bowl with nonstick baking paper, then foil, pleating the centre of each so the pudding has room to rise, and folding excess over the side. Secure with string, to keep water out while cooking.
- Place on an upturned side plate in a large saucepan. Pour boiling water to halfway up the bowl, cover with a lid and steam on a low heat for 2 hrs, topping up the water as necessary. The pudding is done when a skewer inserted into the centre (through the foil and baking paper) comes out clean.
- When nearly ready, heat the sauce ingredients gently in the microwave until melted. Stir until smooth.
- Run a knife around the inside of the basin, turn out onto a plate and peel off the paper disc. Pour over the chocolate sauce and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
