Sweet things

As I was experimenting with a few ingredients from the pantry today, I decided to add a liitle sunflower oil and semolina. The Semolina gives it a lighter consistancy. As a result, they make for a no fuss desserts with a mild honey flavour ...you could also top with a little icecream! What will you be baking for the holiday period?
For 4 small baking pots (200ml in content)
350g Flour, sieved2 Level tablespoons of backing powder
100g Fluid honey, plus extra for the topping
2 Eggs (medium)
1 Pinch of salt
160ml Milk
40ml Sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing.
4 Heap teaspoons of mixed berries for the topping
2 Tablespoons of semolina, plus extra for lining the containers
How to make:
1. Combine the flour, semolina and baking powder in a bowl mix. Add the honey, salt, eggs, milk and sunflower oil and hand beat for 2 minutes to form a smooth dough.
2. Grease the pots with the extra oil and scatter with semolina until well covered. Pour the batter 2/3 of the way into the pots and set the pots on a baking tray on the second row of a hot oven at 180°C. Bake for 25 minutes until springy and slightly brown.
3. Allow the pots to cool slightly on a wire rack. When raised, add a teaspoon of mixed berries and drizzle with honey.

... They look gorgeous! The berries make them special. Is the dough soft or hard? Does the honey soak in? |

... Deana, the semolina makes the dough soft. A little honey has been added to the dough, but the topping's honey also soaks into the cracks of the pudding without the overkill of the honey flavour. |

... Welcome back! When I think of pudding I automatically think H E A V Y. You've proved it can be otherwise. This is an intriguing change from the traditional christmas pud, Julie. Yum! |
