""Based on the recipe in Margaret Costa's Four Season's Cookery Book. I have changed the quantities to metric and substituted golden syrup for black treacle." This recipe & the above quote is taken from The Age newspaper's Epicure section. I haven't tried this, but i love rhubarb, so i might get around to it eventually!"

directions

  • Cut the rhubarb into 3cm pieces and put in the bottom of a well-buttered 1-litre ovenproof dish, with the caster sugar.
  • Measure the golden syrup or treacle and stand measuring cup in hot water so that the syrup will run freely.
  • Sift the flour, spices and salt together.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the syrup.
  • Beat in the egg. Fold in the spiced flour.
  • Heat the milk, stirring, with the bicarbonate of soda until completely dissolved, then add to the batter.
  • Mix well and spoon the batter over the rhubarb and bake for about 35 minutes until pudding is well-browned and tests cooked with a fine skewer.
  • Serve with thick cream.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting. We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :) The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne. I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that. We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of. We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegn%20swap/vegnswap.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
