INGREDIENTS
Pudding
125 grams butter, at room temperature
¾ cup muscavado sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 eggs, size 7
1½ cups self-raising flour
2/3 cup whole milk
Ginger salted caramel sauce
¾ cup Salted Caramel Sauce (see recipe here)

METHOD
Lightly grease a 1-litre capacity pudding basin.
Pudding: Beat the butter, sugar, golden syrup and ginger together until soft and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between additions.
