A classic dish originating from the United Kingdom, Steamed Treacle Pudding or Treacle Sponge is an easy dessert to prepare in the Anova Precision Oven. This sponge pudding uses two forms of treacle - dark and light, the light version being known as golden syrup. It is traditionally served with a custard, or with golden syrup poured on top. Treacle is also known as molasses in the US. If you can't get either molasses or treacle then you could use golden syrup or dark corn syrup as an alternative. In this recipe, you will also need a traditional pudding mold, also known as a basin (2 pint / 1.2 liter) which is available either in metal or ceramic forms. I used a metal pudding form with a lid, which steamed the pudding pretty fast. If using a ceramic form, check the center with a skewer and adjust time accordingly.

5. Steam pudding in Oven

Bake in Oven at 300F, 100% steam for about an hour. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer. Pudding should be moist, but should not look underdone and cling to the skewer. If not done, return to Oven and keep checking for doneness in 10 minute increments.
