METHOD
Topping: Combine the passionfruit pulp, sugar and water. Heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the ginger and ginger syrup. Divide between the ramekins.
Pudding: Preheat the oven to 180oC. Generously butter 6 small custard cups or ramekins. Line the bases with a disc of baking paper.
Melt the butter, stir in the golden syrup and sugar then add the egg and buttermilk. Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and ginger together into a large bowl. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Pour into the ramekins on top of the passionfruit syrup, dividing the mixture evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
Leave to cool for 10 to 15 minutes then run a sharp knife around the edge and turn out onto a serving plate. Serve with softly whipped cream. Serves 6
