Slow Cooker Steamed Treacle Sponge | Old School Recipe

[@budgetcookinguk]

Sponge: 175g softened butter 175g self raising flour 175g caster sugar (I used granulated) 3 large eggs zest of 1 lemon & 1/2 juice 45ml milk syrup base: 250g golden syrup juice of 1/2 lemon equipment: 1 1/3 litre/quart pudding basin (I used foil as a lid) For sponge, mix all the ingredients as you would a cake (cream sugar, add eggs one at a time, sieve flour and mix until smooth, add milk and finally add zest and juice of lemon - a bit at a time. Avoids splitting) Mix 1/2 juice of 1 lemon into a bowl with the golden syrup. Pour this into a greased pudding basin. Add cake batter. smooth the top (aka the bottom) cover loosely with foil Put approx 500ml water in slow cooker (take out trivet) select HIGH and cook for 21/2 to 3 hours (I went over by 20 mins 3hr 20 mins with no problems) Leave to completely cool before upending onto a plate. Serve with custard, ice cream or cream (or all three!)

Try using a pudding bowl then Tie string round the rim of your bowl and make a handle to make it easy to lift out x

Another triumph Kerry. Well done. I love traditional old school puds. I used to make a syrup sponge in the microwave many years ago, no idea how I did it now. xx

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, that is just perfect for now the days are getting cooler. Proper comfort food and one that we will be having very soon. Looked lovely and delicious 😋 Have a great weekend my lovely 👋😘xx

[@blondiejam924]

I remember as a kid my mum also made treacle pud in a pressure cooker and she used suet those were the days ❤

[@alysoncaddick6344]

This takes me back to Sunday evenings as a child. Mum often made this or with suet and jam in the winter when we fancied something sweet. I suppose that it was cheap and filling.

Catherine Phipps' Modern Pressure Cooking has a really good section on puddings including sponge puddings. I can't put the whole recipe but the instructions include putting the lid on loosely, bringing the water to the boil then steaming for 15 minutes, after which you close the lid, bring up to high pressure and cook for 35 minutes, it's then a natural pressure release. She has an excellent pressure cooker fruit cake recipe too, which is now the only way I ever make fruit cake. Really good book!

[@judepicton6252]

That book sounds perfect ,I will have a look for it .thanks

[@janicehartley8525]

Wow that looks so delicious ❤

[@susanheron2423]

Haha I'm laughing as can see how much you enjoyed that pudding by the way you couldn't stop,,nice to see you Tooking in,lovely video,take care.xx

[@LorettaWoods-rr7qy]

Hi Kerry, if you want to slow cook something in your Ninja 11-1, or 15-1 for less than 4 hours, then set it to 4 hours, then once you press start it will let you reduce the cooking time.

[@Mariak82]

Love steamed puddings. 😋

[@samcooper6115]

Kerry this is so lush ❤

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

It looks lovely Kerry

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Sandra👋😀💕

[@elainefisher747]

I would omit the lemon from the syrup. And put it in a basin.

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Also I only add a small amount of treacle then while it’s hot I add a tablespoon of cold treacle over the top

[@juliewhite2688]

You could do a lemon curd version. It looks delicious.

[@Silverdale15]

I'm with you there too....the zingy one or its like soap...this is syrup of course not treacle..

[@trowbridgeist]

Hi There Dear Kerry , look so Good slow cooker so easy just walk away magic ? When we need a quick pudding microwave so quick love your pudding with plenty of custard ❤

[@queeniemyles4028]

I use the steam function, and also use grease proof paper first then the foil 😊

[@dee2251]

I’d omit the lemon juice, use a smaller basin and having tried cheaper golden syrups would only ever use Tate & Lyle. There’s no taste like Tate & Lyle but it’s come out well.

[@TheRisdene]

I use the Mary Berry tip - and put an old jam jar lid under the pudding basin so it is not touching the bottom. Do this for all steamed puds including Christmas. We never wait and just serve straight from the basin. Too greedy! However we steam a pudding all day and find the syrup goes even more syrupy and sticky! Delish 🤤. S❤

[@mrsmiggins6435]

You've just reminded me of when my mother used to make bacon surt oudding, covering the basin with muslin and greaseproof paper making sure she put a pleat in it. Its never occured to me to try it in a pressure cooker 😮. She would soend hours watching over it and add additional water, good times. My mouth was watering. Thank you🤗

[@carolinesaunders8275]

Such a great vid Kerry!! - will definitely try myself ! Looks delish!! I'm the 'cheesecake in the Cosori Pressure Cooker' gal but can't get thru to you with emails as youtube keep pinging them back ! I can write up the recipe on here if you want to give it a try? Let me know - but loving your trials for us - thank you so much !! Xx

[@Silverdale15]

Maje sure you buy golden syrup not treacle!!!!

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Old fashion white pudding basin is my best cooking item

[@budgetcookinguk]

I could do with finding one in a charity shop 😄👍💕

[@Silverdale15]

Absolutely 😊

[@Silverdale15]

I have a few I've been left with from former lives ie mum mum in law I could send them lol

[@anneperry9014]

Love your vids, love steamed sponge, and love you!!😋❤

[@dorinda8097]

Looked delicious. As we are off sugar at the moment we haven’t had puddings🙁with custard. But love the recipes you do Kerry.

[@pennyflaherty1448]

I use a Pyrex mixing bowl !

[@Silverdale15]

Me too...

[@peppermintpatte5569]

Thanks for the great recipes. As it is nearly Christmas would you make a Christmas Cake (fruit cake) in a slow cooker?

[@juliebajwa721]

Hi Kerry that looks like a proper pudding. Feel like I don't use my slow cooker enough will have to experiment more. 7.30 in the morning and already want pudding not good😂

[@glendaanderson8627]

Thanks Kerry for trialing this in the slow cooker. What a success!! I have a whole load of apples from my tree, so I'm thinking of trying this with chopped apple. I'm hoping the slow cooker will make it lovely and soft. Obviously can't miss out the syrup though!! Thanks again x

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I wish I was such a tidy cook / baker as you

[@Silverdale15]

Don't forget it's for show I expect it's more chaotic when the filming isn't being done !!!

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Kerry if you fold grease proof paper into a strip put it under the cooking pot and fold it so you can lift out the cooking tin it’s so mush easier

[@budgetcookinguk]

Jennifer why didn't I think of that!😄💕💕

[@callmebeth]

Heinz stopped making these puddings. Shame as they are certainly a comfort food. Will be using this recipe though. A white ceramic pudding basin is the ideal dish to cook it in. Great vlog again Kerry Thank you

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

In the tins?! I remember Heinz making puddings in the big tins.. boy was it a treat to have one of them with custard! I remember the chocolate one which was divine too! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who remembers them, none of my friends seem to! The sauce was lovely, & they weren’t stingy with it either!

[@julie011267]

I can remember them too , there was also a spotted dick one too x​@@LauraBidingCitizen

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

I used to like the sultana one

[@jacquiwilliams267]

Not sure if yours will do it but when you start the clock on ninja you can reduce the time once it’s started counting down

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ah thank you Jacqui, I'll check that out next time I'm using it😀👍💕

[@karentoynton8948]

I think maybe there was a little to much treacle went in so maybe it stopped it rising. I only put an amount to cover the bottom , and then the sponge is free to rise, I think the treacle in this case helped prevent this from happening, it looked nice however. I would have done it in high as well. All only my thoughts , not to ssy I am right at all. Thanks for the vlogg.x

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Evening Kerry, oh i could feel my teeth curling with the sweetness 😂😂. Its a great idea if you are busy making dinner, out for the afternoon in the garden, etc, or just looking for something as a wee treat. Job well done as I know Al & the boys would have demolished it 😅 . Have a lovely night xxxx Jacs 💚❤️

[@juliepearce5018]

Hi kerry just made in slow cooker so good took 3 hours 20 minutes on high

[@Royboy50]

That looks scrumptious wish I was tasting it ,great vid thanks

[@susanfryer1616]

Yummy yummy ver naughty but nice x❤

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Susan👋😀💕

[@donnavaliante7089]

Nice to see you enjoy a good memory. Ok, I must be in a strange set of mind to clarify my following comments. I've checked everywhere on my body and I don't have a QUICK MODE😂😂!! MY SETTINGS ARE SLOW AND LAZY 😅! Did you stir the sponge batter with a butter knife? I, too, love lemon everything!!! Glad the sponge worked for you.

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I use my Ninja on steam bake we love it xxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

What do you bake on steam bake function Jennifer 😀👍💕

[@ashleycowcher8407]

could put a string like a hammock to be able to extract more easily

[@Silverdale15]

Definitely easy trick from your gran ! 😅

[@kirstyblair9742]

Lovely video, thank you. I was wondering if you have a bread machine? I’m wanting to buy one but not sure which one to go for xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Kirsty, I don't have one I'm afraid, good luck on your hunt😀👍💕

[@Silverdale15]

Has enough afs I think !!!! From experience the broad doesn't keep well goes like a brick! Tbh they are just another gimmick!

[@jennifermharvey9882]

With custard

[@budgetcookinguk]

Definitely!😋😋😋

[@heatherpiper1448]

It has been done by in the kitchen with pen and someone else also though I can't remember who. I thought I had written the instruction down but if I did I can't find them now😢

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I bet xxx lucky family

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Yum yum yum xxx

[@Royboy50]

In my humble opinion you cannot beat Tate and Lyle golden syrup for depth of flavour,I have tried home brands but non come close to the original,I know it’s more expensive and that might be a factor for a lot of people but I don’t use it every day so I buy that

[@budgetcookinguk]

I agree it prob is better quality 😀👍

[@TheRisdene]

I admit to keeping a small tin of T&L for recipes like this where I want the special caramelly flavour and use my Lidl in recipes like ginger cake.

[@Silverdale15]

Absolutely agree ....its not treacle its golden syrup !

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Quicker and lighter sponge

[@nige322]

You need to in microwave amazing look on KZbin trust me cheers nige

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Hi Kerry my hubbies favourite

[@budgetcookinguk]

Everybody was happy in my house Jennifer 😄💕

[@ElaineMarshall-bm9rl]

Oh my god my mouth wateringxx

[@pikricky]

So tasty looking Kerry,I love a steamed pudding,I know Susannah's Kitchen does a pressure cooked sponge pudding( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aajbhohsqqt9jaM )and it looks really good,another enjoyable video flower Xx

[@irenehulston3635]

Isnt treacle an entirely different thing. Im sure what you made is a syrup sponge.

[@Silverdale15]

I have commented on this it's syrup not treacle it's not in the ingredients list so why is k calling it treacle ? Graham gets about also does this too it's incorrect.

[@Silverdale15]

I keep saying this there is no treacle it's golden syrup 😮

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

I still call golden syrup treacle, if i wanted treacle for a recipe it would be golden syrup, if i was making a Xmas cake i would buy black treacle

[@Silverdale15]

Technically its syrup sponge as per the ingredients listed there is no treacle in it !treacle is a whole different beast its black to start with!
