Pineapple Upside-Down Pudding

This Pineapple Upside-Down Pudding is a nostalgic treat that brings the warmth of a home kitchen to your dining table. The recipe relies on a simple yet effective technique: melting syrup in the tin to create a glossy caramel base that coats the pineapple rings as they bake. The batter, a light mixture of self-raising flour, margarine, and egg, rises into a fluffy, tender sponge that contrasts beautifully with the sticky, sweet fruit. It is an ideal dessert for casual gatherings or a comforting weekend indulgence. The addition of glace cherries adds a pop of color and tartness, balancing the sweetness of the pineapple. Easy to prepare with pantry staples, this pudding serves two perfectly and offers that authentic, old-fashioned flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

1 Small Tin pineapple rings
1 tablespoon Syrup
3 ounce Self-raising flour
2 ounce Margarine
1 Egg
1 ounce Sugar
2 Glace Cherries

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 190C (375F / Gas Mark 5).
2
Generously grease a 6 1/2 inch sandwich tin or round cake tin.
3
Pour the tablespoon of syrup into the bottom of the prepared tin and place it in the preheated oven for a few minutes until the syrup is hot and melted.
4
While the syrup heats, place the margarine and sugar into a mixing bowl.
5
Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
6
Beat the egg into the creamed mixture thoroughly.
7
Add one level tablespoon of the self-raising flour and beat well to combine.
8
Gradually add the remaining flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
9
Check the consistency; the mixture should resemble very thick cream. If it is too stiff, add a small splash of warm water to loosen it.
10
Remove the tin from the oven carefully.
11
Drain the pineapple rings well and arrange three rings in a single layer in the hot syrup at the bottom of the tin.
12
Spoon the batter evenly over the pineapple rings.
13
Use a knife to smooth the top of the batter and clean the sides of the tin for a neat finish.
14
Return the tin to the oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
15
Allow the pudding to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack or serving plate, allowing any excess syrup to drain away.
16
Place half a glace cherry in the center of each pineapple ring for decoration.
17
Serve warm or at room temperature.
