microwave Christmas pudding

[Davred]

Microwave Christmas pudding

1½ oz gluten free plain flour
10 oz ground hazelnuts
2 oz dark brown sugar
¾ oz egg replacement powder
¼ tsp each ground mixed spice and cinnamon
1½ oz dairy free spread
6 oz mixed dried fruit
1 oz apple, peeled, cored and chopped, optional
½ lemon, finely grated rind and 2 tbsp juice
1 tsp golden syrup
1 tsp gravy browning
2 tbsp brandy
6 tbsp soya milk
Icing sugar, for dusting
1¼ pint pudding basin greased and a disc of greaseproof paper placed in the bottom

Mix all the ingredients together. Spoon into the pudding basin.
Cover loosely with a piece of greaseproof paper.
Microwave on high (calculated for an 800 watt oven) for 2½ mins and leave to stand for another 2½ mins, then cook for a further 2½ mins.
Remove the paper. The pudding won't look fully cooked in the middle, so leave it to stand for 5 mins before turning it out and serving, dusted with icing sugar.
