SOUTH AFRICAN TELEPHONE PUDDING
This ancient, delicious dessert got its name this way: in the time of party-line phones (which still exist in some farming areas) this recipe was apparently passed on from cook to cook by phone, and didn't have a proper name. So it became "Telephone Pudding". The recipe is not in our best-known older cookbooks such as "Cook and Enjoy It" (the cooking bible of many young brides!!), and neither could I find it in my considerable stack of old cookbooks, so it's almost lost now!! I was given the recipe by my husband's aunt, who is now 86. Lovely, sinful winter dessert!! Funny method -- but just try it! (It's getting rather tedious to correct the wrong assumptions: Jan 25, 2009: the review comment is wrong. If you want the lovely Roly Poly pudding recipe, it's either recipe #235004 or recipe #253994. On Feb 6, 2009: Dear reviewer, maybe it tastes vaguely like Malva Pudding, but here is the genuine Malva pudding: recipe #118545).

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius For convection/fan ovens the heat can be a little lower.
- Cream butter and sugar well. (Use castor sugar/superfine sugar to make it easier).
- Add the jam and lightly beaten egg to the creamed mixture.
- Mix the flour, ginger and salt together.
- Mix the baking soda/bicarbonate of soda* into the cup of milk in a roomy bowl.
- Whisk the creamed mixture alternately with the dry ingredients into the milk, to form a smooth batter.
- To make the syrup, boil the water (using your electric kettle is fastest, then measure into a small pot). Add the sugar, and stir until sugar melts. Add vanilla.
- Pour this syrup into an oven dish -- not shallow! Then pour the pudding batter into the boiling syrup.
- Bake pudding for about 30 - 45 mins until brown on top and baked through. (Sorry, aunt's recipe is a bit vague on this point).
- * Baking soda is better known as bicarbonate of soda in South Africa.
