I was looking for a recipe to use up the rhubarb I had and stumbled upon this recipe from my very old (1981) and falling apart St Michael 1,000 Recipe Cook Book. With the weather showing no sign of cheering up I have been cooking a lot of comfort food recently. This pudding was yummy served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
This pudding starts out like a crumble and ends up like a batter.

Can be quickly knocked up while your main course is cooking and then when that’s nearly ready put your pudding in the oven and it will be ready by the time you’re ready for dessert.

It’s very quick and easy and you should also try my Rhubarb and Strawberry Grunt!
