This is one of my favourite warm puddings, it takes me back to when I was about 10-11 years old and making it at home, always served with thick birds custard, I still love it, although now I like to put a good scoop of vanilla ice cream on top

I like mine with a good vanilla ice cream, I love the hot and cold contrast, but you can have custard, cream or clotted cream
