Preparation:

2) Spoon 30ml golden syrup into the bottom of the bowl and top with 125ml fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries.
3) Beat the butter and castor sugar together. Stir in the vanilla essence then add the lightly beaten eggs, a little at a time. Fold in the self-raising flour and 15-30ml milk, to form a dropping consistency.
