Ingredients
One Egg
1/4 Cup Caster Sugar
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Essence (Or other sponge flavouring ie citrus rind)
2 Tbsp Self-raising flour
Method
Break egg into 2 cup capacity microwave proof cup. Beat with fork/hand-whisk etc, slowly add sugar, essence. Fold in flour. Microwave for around 1.5 minutes. Eat immediately.
Also nice if you add a bit of jam and use less sugar.
Adapted from an oven-bake 6 serve apple-sponge cake recipe from the back of the CSR caster sugar packet. I have been looking for a one-person lowish fat (ie not 25% butter!) microwave pudding for years! So now I share it with you :) The texture is a little wierd but it tastes ok.
Note that self-raising can very easily be made from plain flour and baking powder.
