Microwave Chocolate Pudding

Everything about this recipe is right. Its quick, easy to prepare and the perfect portion size for two, lovely with a scoop of ice cream, creme fraiche of custard. A friend passed this on to me a couple of years ago and my copy of it is getting a bit worn and cake mix splattered now.

Ingredients
4tbsp self raising flour
4tbsp caster sugar
2tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
3tbsp oil
3tbsp milk
dash of vanilla extract

Put all ingredients into a mug and mix well. Place your mug into to microwave and cook on full power for 3 minutes (1000w microwave). Leave to cool for a couple of minutes then tip out onto a plate to serve.

Variations on a theme. (although these do require two mugs!)
Omit the cocoa powder and increase the amount of flour to 6tbsp, then add a pinch of ground ginger to the mix. put a large spoon of golden syrup in the bottom of another mug and pour the pudding mix on top. You could alternatively put jam in the bottom. Or add chocolate chips. the choice is yours, so if you haven't had your pudding yet..!

I have been crafting this week, and they are projects that are fat quart friendly. The only reason I haven't written them up yet is that they're for a friend of mine who's just had a baby and I haven't seen her yet. It's been a bit of a manic week anyway and chances to sit down at the computer have been few and far between, I'm sure you know how it is!
