Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 4 tablespoons self-raising flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil (canola)
• A small splash of vanilla extract
• A small splash of ginger extract or 1/2 a teaspoon ginger powder
• 1 large coffee mug

Method

1. Add all of the dry ingredients and mix well, you can do this in the mug, though it's probably easier to mix in a bowl
2. Add the beaten egg, milk and oil and mix well
3. Add the ginger and vanilla extract and mix well
4. Pour into a mug and microwave for 3 minutes on full power (1000 watt microwave)
5. Allow to cool a little - microwaved food can get dangerously hot!

Serving suggestions

Eat directly from the mug with a spoon or tip it out on to a plate if you're posh!

Chef's note

This was delicious, if not a little too sweet for my taste. I would try with a little less sugar next time.

Using a bowl rather than a mug, makes the clean-up process a little easier even if the overall effect is not quite as dramatic!
