Jan Ellis Pudding

Legendary former Springbok loose forward Jan Ellis has died from cancer at the age of 71 yesterday the 8th Februay 2013. Jan Ellis was a well-known Springbok rugby player in the 1960s and 70s, and held the record for most-capped Springbok player of all times when he retired. Legend has it that this was his favourite pudding and to this day it bears his name. I have to say that the man had good taste. The pudding just soaks up the syrup like a sponge.. Heavenly. Let’s all make this pudding tomorrow in memory of this legend.

Ingredients.

5 ml bicarbonate of soda

125ml milk

375 ml flour

125 ml sugar

2 eggs

30ml apricot jam

25 ml of soft margarine

1 ml salt

Sauce

250ml water

250 ml cream

250 ml butter

250 ml sugar

5 ml vanilla

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Dissolve the baking soda in the milk. Mix all the other ingredients together well, then you add the milk and mix well until smooth. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes at 180C or until a skewer comes out clean.

Place all the ingredients for the syrup in a small saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Pour the sauce over the baked pudding and serve with custard.
