Rhubarb pudding
A Rhubarb self saucing pudding with chopped rhubarb at the base. Nice idea, very very sweet. Warrants further investigation into a less sugary version for the future.

- 125g plain flour
- 150g caster sugar
- 80ml milk
- 45g butter, melted

- Place rhubarb in a buttered 20cm square tin. In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, milk, butter, baking powder, salt and vanilla (mixture will be thick). Spread over rhubarb.
