Steamed Golden Syrup Pudding with Anglaise Sauce...Gluten Free version!!!

A little while ago Clarity saw on my other blog Queen of the Armchair one of the meals prepared at College and requested the recipe for the Steamed Golden Syrup Pudding (with Anglaise Sauce)...

Hop on over to Clarity's blog if you get a chance...and check out her Wonderland...a wonderfully serene one to read!!!

Steamed Golden Syrup Pudding with Anglaise Sauce as prepared at College...

I have adapted this version to a gluten-free version...

and I will take you through the steps that I did...

which is basically following the recipe and instead of using Self Raising Flour I substitued it for Gluten Free Self Raising Flour...and it worked a treat!!!

Since being diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance...I can't remember when I last had a pudding!!!

I can see many more puddings coming up!!!

First of all...soak Diced Dried Apricots in Brandy...
I reckon you could also substitute this with Orange Juice!!!

After creaming the Butter and Sugar followed by eggs add Milk and SR Flour alternately...

Grease and line pan with Sugar...
I don't have pudding moulds like in the pudding pic above...I used this new pink pie dish in a Bain-Marie...

By this time DH had arrived home from work and took this pic...pouring the mix into the dish...

All set to go...

into the oven...

At which time then DH thought it was about time for a glass of wine...

While sipping away...we're wondering...is this going to work in a dish???

Of course it is!!!

How happy are we...it took a bit longer than the recipe called for...

Being a Gluten Free one it is probably a little more dense than one made with regular flour...

Pour Golden Syrup over...

and we're very happy with it!!!

Hubby said it was very tasty (could it be the extra Brandy LOL!!!)...
Served with extra Brandied Apricots and a Gluten Free Custard...I'm in Pudding Heaven!!!
