Chocolate Pudding

This recipie came via Mum, and has been a firm favourite for a long time. It is delicious hot with ice cream!

I am writing this up as I have lost it more times than I have made it, and the paper copy Mum sent me has just turned up after a prolonged absence. Now there’ll be a pretty permanent electronic copy thanks to Google, and Mum can point anyone here that asks for it!

I will try to calulate and update with metric units for those like me that stuggle with imperial!

Let me know if you have anycomments, suggestions or improvements!
