This pudding is so easy to whip up in a flash: all the ingredients are basic pantry staples that can be thrown together when you want a dessert (without going out to buy extra ingredients).

But don’t be fooled, this is one delicious dish!

This pudding makes a great winter dessert, perfect for after the Sunday roast.

For something a little different, add some chopped nuts to the batter.

I like to keep some long-life cream in the pantry for emergency cooking. You can get it in the supermarket in 200ml tetra-packs. It sells out quickly though, so if you see it, pick up a couple for the pantry.

They really come in handy if you like to cook with cream or need some emergency cream for a last-minute dessert.
