Add the sugar and egg and beat briskly until smooth, then add the flour and milk alternatively, beating until it forms a batter.
Pour the sugar syrup into a well buttered baking dish and add the halved fruit, skin side down, in a pattern so it looks attractive when turned out.
Pour the batter over the top allowing a good depth in the baking dish for the pudding to rise up.
Put into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
The pudding should have a crisp top and a soggy base. Wait for about 10 minutes before loosening the side with a sharp knife and turning it onto a plate for serving.
