Christmas pudding by Lesley Waters

Christmas pudding

Ingredients
55g/2oz unsalted butter
55g/2oz self-raising flour
55g/2oz caster sugar
1 egg
110g/4oz handful of mixed dried fruit
splash of milk
1 apple, cored and grated
For the butterscotch sauce
3 tbsp soft brown sugar
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp double cream
½ tsp vanilla essence


Method
1. Cream the butter, flour, sugar and egg together in a food processor until combined.
2. Add the fruit mixture and a splash of milk and the grated apple and pulse briefly.
3. Grease a small oven-proof glass bowl and pour the sponge mixture in. Cover with cling film and then microwave on high for 4-6 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, heat the sugar in a pan with the butter, cream and vanilla for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to form a butterscotch sauce.
5. Turn the pudding out onto a serving plate and pour the sauce over to serve.
