Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix the milk and bicarbonate of soda.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, salt, flour, egg, vinegar and jam. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and combine. Pour into 5 greased ramekins and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
3. To make the syrup, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and boil for 10 minutes.
4. When the puddings are cooked, poke holes into them using a skewer and pour the syrup over the pudding. Decorate with mixed berries. Serve with the custard.

Cook’s note: The malva will look quite blue when mixing, but will turn golden brown when baked. The syrup is a good way to use up berries that have gone a little past their best.
