01:52it's already been dug out
01:53and there is a sewer line here
01:54we've had a plumber
01:55put in a stand
01:56for some drainage
01:57it's really important
01:58you do a dial before you dig
01:59That way you know what to miss and what you can take advantage of.
02:02I'm going to make this really special. We're going to have a concrete floor,
02:04we're going to have concrete stepping stones coming into it.
02:06And then we're going to have some privacy screens and, of course, a load of plants.
02:17For the formwork of our garden I'm going to use the ShapeScaper steel edging
02:21and for the shower base I'm using a custom curve.
02:24So we've had this made so it's nice and smooth,
02:26but you could try it yourself, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

03:31I'm using the aggregate in the base because it's nice and stable once it's compacted but also because it's much
03:37cheaper than concrete.
03:38Once we've got this leveled out and compacted we can work out exactly how much concrete we need.
03:42It takes out the guesswork.
03:44Brown
03:44wasn't gonna lay any concrete we're gonna set our posts out for our screen cuz
04:00these gonna be concreted in a trench but we need to set them out so we can screw
04:04them off inside our edging that way they're gonna stay nice and straight and
04:07we're using aluminium over timber because if we use timber we're gonna have gapsaining

07:46Thank you
07:48And lots of different textures too
07:51Did you feel it, the distance
07:54You hate it, and it shows
07:56Crossed your heart between my hands
07:58I know that's just the way it goes
08:00I didn't like texar
08:02The art of letting go
08:07I love the way mulch makes a garden feel finished.
08:10For our native planting area, we're using forest vines.
08:12It suits the style of the planting.
08:13It's going to break down to help improve the soil.
08:15For our stepping stones, we're just using a river gravel.
08:18Now, when this is washed up, the tones are going to sit perfectly with the concrete and the steel.
08:22And when it is all finished up, I tell you what, I cannot wait to get in that shower.
08:47Do you like mysteries?
08:49Good. I've got one for you tonight.
08:51It's all about two little dogs, a picket fence and what's on the other side.
08:57This gem is at the heart of one of the fastest growing property hotspots in the country.
09:01And it's not just all about the charm.
09:14Tonight's house call is just that little bit different.
09:17You see, I'm in a suburban backyard.
09:19And tonight, we're looking at a mystery.
09:22And the mystery is entitled, What is Behind the Garden Wall?
09:27We have two little canine detectives ready to help us.
09:30Together, the three of us will try and come up with a solution.
09:36In my precious time
09:41Hey, mate, how are you going?
09:42Hey, Dr. Harry. Thanks for coming.
09:44So, we've got a problem with two dogs.
09:45We do, we do.
09:46What's the problem?
09:48So, I've got two cavoodles, Daisy and Freya.
09:51Daisy's four years old, Freya's two.
09:52Yeah.
09:53They are absolutely obsessed with the back corner of our yard.
09:56They run out here.
09:57They sit there for hours.
09:59Obsessed?
09:59They scratch.
10:00They just, I can't distract them from it.
10:03Okay.
10:03And it's been going on for months now.
10:05And I just don't know what else I can do.
10:07I've tried blocking the area.
10:08I've tried locking them inside.
10:10But it's just becoming a bit of an issue, I think, for us to manage.
10:14Can they get through the fence in any way, shape or form?
10:16No, they've tried digging under.
10:17So, I've had to put some bricks along the bottom to stop them digging under the fence.
10:20And I've had to put some mesh on the fence to stop them hurting their paws as well.
10:24Have you looked over the fence?
10:26I have.
10:26There's a pile of firewood on the other side.
10:28So, we think there might be something in the woodpile.
10:31Yeah, right.
10:32But we haven't seen anything.
10:33So, you've not seen any vermin or anything like that on your side of the fence?
10:36No.
10:37We do have lizards, though, around the yard, like any most suburban homes in this part of Sydney.
10:41Are they interested in them?
10:42Yeah, they are.
10:43They chase them down.
10:44Yeah.
10:45Yeah, they catch them occasionally.
10:46Yeah.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Not blue-tongued so much.
10:48Yeah, small lizards.
10:49All right.
10:50Let's go up there and have a bit of a look.
10:51All right.
10:51Sounds good.
10:56Just a lot of big blocks of firewood, more than anything else, are raised in a heap.
11:03Really, it could harbour just about anything.
11:05But as far as I'm concerned, if the dogs are looking at it, then whatever is in there has
11:12to be alive.
11:12Because if we were dead, it would have dissipated a long time ago, and the dogs would have lost
11:17interest.
11:21How long has this been going on for, do you reckon?
11:23Oh, about four to six months now.
11:25So a long time.
11:26Well, for my money, that eliminates any sort of dead animal being there, because it would
11:31have decomposed and, you know, the dogs would have lost interest, the smell would have gone,
11:35all that sort of thing, right?
11:36Yeah.
11:36But the fact that the interest is still there, the fact that the interest is more active at
11:40night time, right, suggests that there's something alive in that heap of timber.
11:46So I'm thinking rodents, rats are nice more than anything else.
11:49But add on top of that the possibility of lizards and snakes.
11:53Particularly if you've got rodents, you're going to have snakes.
11:55We could have all four.
11:57How would we know?
11:58Well, the only real way to know is to go and have a look.
12:03So we're going to pop in next door.
12:05We've got the owner's permission to check out this wood pile.
12:13Well, there's no doubt they're riding onto something, aren't they?
12:16Look at the activity.
12:17Tails are wagging, exploring all the little crevices.
12:20This is part of a hunting instinct.
12:22This is normal in all dogs.
12:23It's called prey drive.
12:25They need to get out, catch something, kill it and eat it.
12:28And even though they may be just pet dogs, they still have this in their DNA.
12:33So there's something in there that these dogs would like to get hold of.
12:37So what I'll try and do is see if I can see some faecal material.
12:41In other words, some droppings, if you like.
12:43The newer might give us a clue as to what's in there.
12:49So I haven't found any droppings of any description at all.
12:53And there's no real smell.
12:56I mean, you smell that, just an earthy smell.
12:58I think if there were rodents there, you'd smell urine in one thing and another.
13:02And there isn't.
13:03There's just that sort of earthy smell, right?
13:05So I think my deduction would be that there's probably a lizard in there more than anything.
13:09Maybe a blue tongue.
13:10Yeah, OK.
13:11Possibly a snake, but probably a blue tongue more than anything else.
13:14I mean, it's an ideal hide for them.
13:15You can't do anything on this side of the fence because this is the neighbour's place.
13:20Yeah, yeah.
13:21We have to do something on your side of the fence to ensure the safety of your dogs.
13:26That's what it's all about.
13:27Yeah.
13:27OK?
13:28OK.
13:28So the way in which you solve problems like this is to deny access.
13:33OK.
13:33That's my job.
13:34OK.
13:35We'll go next door and we'll deny access.
13:37Sounds good.
13:38I'm blessed.
13:40I got love all around me, making me feel blessed.
13:46So what do we do?
13:47Well, you would need to be the world's best dog trainer to break a habit that is normal,
13:55that is part of the dog's behaviour.
13:57Prey drive.
13:58And this is prey drive.
13:59So how do you do that?
14:01If you can't train the problem, then you have to prevent access.
14:04The safest way, electricity.
14:07So a little electric fence, it's about so high, runs right along your wooden perimeter, right
14:13through to the back fence there.
14:14OK.
14:15You've got a little charger, you know, solar-operated jizmo up here.
14:20You've got your battery down there.
14:21You've got plenty of sunshine around here.
14:22No problem.
14:23Puts out plenty of volts.
14:25No, it doesn't.
14:26Puts out plenty of amps.
14:27But low volts, right?
14:28Right.
14:28So they touch it once or twice, they've got a nice wet nose, they don't like it, and
14:33they never go near it again.
14:35That's going to keep them away from the area and going to keep them safe.
14:38You cannot change what's happening next door, but you can make sure your dogs don't come
14:44into any danger on your side of the fence.
14:46And that's the best way of doing it, deny access.
14:50However, I wouldn't feel right going home, having taken away something the dogs love and
14:56not giving something back.
14:58So I'd like to give something back, and that's going to be a sand pit.
15:02OK.
15:02So think where you would like to put a big plastic shell, into which we can put some sand, into
15:07which you can put some toys, into which you can put some treats, and that provides a replacement
15:12therapy.
15:21This is my little present, and we bake this with lots of little food rewards.
15:26So these are little tiny pork strips, which we absolutely love.
15:31And the idea is to just bury them very lightly in the sand.
15:34Initially, when you're first doing it, just throw them on the surface.
15:38We've got one very willing participant and one not quite so sure.
15:42But as time goes, there'll be competition.
15:46Make them small to start off with, so the dog has to really look for them, because this
15:50is a natural hunting drive too.
15:52Going, looking for food.
15:54Digging.
15:54Dogs have been digging for as long as they've been dogs.
15:57So it's very good therapy for them to have to dig to retrieve food.
16:01You can substitute other stuff, cheese, cavernosi, that sort of thing.
16:15My aim is to have two satisfied dogs and one very satisfied owner.
16:21I don't think we've done that.
16:26These magnificent girls are the powerhouses behind a fabulous family micro-dairy farm,
16:31and you might be surprised exactly where it is.

17:21This segment is brought to you by VIEW.
17:24See all properties Australia-wide with VIEW.com.au
17:37You may have noticed that there is a huge shift reshaping our cities from the inside out,
17:41as homebuyers try to avoid sky-high mortgages
17:45and instead choose somewhere that has more charm, space and affordability on the urban fringe.
17:50That means that once remote towns like Camden are now at the heart of one of the biggest
17:55growth corridors in the country.
18:02So this is the centre of Sydney's historic MacArthur region.
18:06It sits right in the fringes of the city's south-west housing expansion,
18:10but is somewhere you can come to soak up yesteryear.
18:12In its day, Camden was the hub of Australia's early wool, wine and dairy industries,
18:19and on the main route to Melbourne.
18:21These days, this buzzing town is just a fantastic day out.
18:24You can enjoy the late colonial architecture,
18:27not to mention the numerous shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
18:36So to find out why everyone's making the move,
18:39I'm going to catch up with a couple of locals.
18:41First up, a dynamic mother and daughter duo
18:44who have lovingly restored this 1896 landmark
18:47into a highly successful tea house.
18:50You're too scared to talk to your family
18:54I have my opinions
18:57It doesn't matter what I think
19:00I was there when two brothers were...
19:03Here they are.
19:04Hello, Jacinta. Hello, Natasha.
19:05Lovely to meet you both.
19:06Lovely to meet you.
19:07I love what you've done here.
19:09This is so exquisite.
19:10Tell me about this beautiful building.
19:12Thank you.
19:12This is our beautiful tea house,
19:14and we brought it six years ago in 2019.
19:17It didn't look like this, though, did it?
19:18No.
19:19A lot of renovation, a lot of hard work,
19:21but, yeah, we had a lot of fun doing it.
19:23I think that's the sense that you get when you walk in here.
19:25I mean, you'd love to be in this space
19:27because every room is different,
19:28but you just feel like you're, I don't know,
19:30you've headed off to some little wonderland.
19:31You'll be both born and bred here.
19:32So tell me about why you think this part of the world
19:35is absolutely going off.
19:36Yeah, so I did, after, you know, finishing school,
19:40I did go to the city, but then there's nothing like...
19:42You drew me back.
19:43You drew me back to my hometown.
19:46We both ride westerns,
19:47so we do horse riding on the weekends,
19:49so we are able to go ride our horses
19:50throughout the afternoons, throughout the day,
19:52and then also work,
19:54and then our partners can go to the city
19:56and work in the city.
19:57So we've got right in the middle of being able
19:59to have a country life, but also work in the city.
20:02It's an absolutely beautiful town itself, isn't it?
20:05I mean, you would have noticed some big changes over time.
20:07Oh, it has, but still has the heritage vibe,
20:10which I think is one of the things
20:11that's so beautiful to Camden.
20:13And just down the road at Oren Park,
20:15you couldn't get more of a contrast
20:17to the heritage architecture.
20:19These modern homes are perfect for families
20:21drawn to the country-slash-city lifestyle.
20:25Well, Shannon, you've certainly picked
20:26one of the paciest areas in real estate
20:28just about in the country at the moment.
20:29Tell us about this part of the world
20:30and what's going on.
20:31Oren Park's one of the biggest growing suburbs
20:33in all of Sydney.
20:34A lot of people are coming here from out of area
20:36just due to affordability.
20:37It's a great place to raise a family.
20:39Basically, it's got every amenity at your footstep.
20:42Do people then get surprised
20:43by how much is on offer?
20:45Look, they do.
20:45It is a master-planer suburb,
20:47and they're thinking years ahead as well.
20:48There's about 4,000 or 5,000 homes to come
20:50over the next few years.
20:51You've got your bus stops.
20:52You've got local train stations.
20:54You've got a train station that is going to be coming
20:55to Oren Park in the near future.
20:58And then you've got, obviously, the airport
21:00that is to come.
21:01The airport's been the game-changer, really, hasn't it?
21:03It is. It is.
21:04The amount of infrastructure that has come to the area,
21:06given that the airport is coming,
21:08but just jobs to come in the area.
21:11It's just everything's going to be built
21:12around the second Sydney International Airport.
21:14Also, people get a lot of bang for their buck
21:16out here, don't they?
21:16They do.
21:17When you look at affordability over Sydney
21:19and what that buys you in this area,
21:21it's apples and oranges.
21:27So, here we are.
21:28This is the brand-new luxury custom-built home.
21:31in here in Oren Park.
21:32So, why don't you come inside and take a look?
21:33Definitely.
21:34Lead the way.
21:34Beautiful.
21:39Wow.
21:39There's a lot of house.
21:41It's a beautiful house.
21:42So, this is a custom build by Camelot Homes.
21:45They're a premium builder in the area.
21:47You can tell.
21:47So, this particular house is five-bed,
21:49three-bath, single car.
21:50Yep.
21:51It's brand-new.
21:52We're guiding 1.45 to 1.55.
21:54Okay.
21:55So, what's your starting entry point for people, though?
21:57Because, I mean, you literally have the whole gamut, don't you?
22:00You do.
22:01You've got your entry-level two-bedroom homes,
22:03Fonzie Flats.
22:03They start at the $6.00 to $6.50.
22:05Then you've got your free-standing, three-bed,
22:07two-bath, one-car homes.
22:08They're around that $9.50,
22:10which is great for first-home buyers, investors,
22:13downsizers of the likes.
22:14The middle market, you're looking at around the $1.2 to $1.4,
22:17which buys you a nice big single-story home
22:19in the double market as well.
22:21So, it sounds like people come with a very clear idea
22:23for what they're looking for out here.
22:25They do.
22:25They do.
22:26And moving from out of area, they want the dream.
22:28They want the bigger backyards.
22:29They want the space.
22:30You would not get that value for money anywhere else in Sydney.
22:33No, you wouldn't.
22:34Affordability from where you can buy in the city
22:36to brand-new homes out here, there's so much growth.
22:38Look, one of the great things for us, I suppose,
22:40when you use the view.com.au app,
22:42you literally can go on.
22:43The more information that you have,
22:45whether it's on the webpage or the app,
22:47the more information that you've actually got,
22:49if it obviously gives them an idea
22:50with that purchasing power calculator,
22:52exactly what you can get for your budget.
22:54100%.
22:54You can be very specific down to bedrooms, bathrooms,
22:57how many car garages that you do want,
22:59the price guide that you're looking for,
23:01and the block size,
23:01and whether you're after a terrace, townhouse,
23:04freestanding, the works.
23:05It's all on ready.
23:12Ah, see?
23:13Yet another amazing contrast,
23:14but that's the beauty of what this part of the world throws up.
23:17Jess, Luke, absolute pleasure to meet you.
23:19The famous Camden Valley Farm.
23:21I can't wait to hear what you guys are keeping busy with.
23:23Hey, Joanna, great to meet you too.
23:24Let's go and meet the herd.
23:25Beautiful.
23:26I feel like I'm one of the herds.
23:27Move.
23:37So tell me about your property.
23:39Tell me about the farm.
23:40So we've been here since 2011.
23:42We're on 30 acres.
23:43We milk about 40 cows at any time.
23:45You sort of grew up around this part of the world, didn't you?
23:47Yes, I grew up at Brincelli.
23:48So do you...
23:49I mean, what do you love about this area?
23:51You're far enough out of the city
23:52that you don't have people walking past your back door all the time,
23:55but you're close enough to Sydney that we can duck in for the day.
23:58So you've got the best of both worlds.
24:00And you guys do that regularly, don't you, with your markets?
24:02Yeah.
24:03Yeah, so we're in there once a week.
24:04And I believe you've got a little farm gate as well.
24:06Yes, we do out the front there.
24:08So we sell our milk, yoghurt,
24:09and some of our flavoured milks as well in there.
24:11Well, you know that we're definitely going to have to go check it out,
24:13but I think that's coming up a little bit later in the show.
24:15Absolutely.
24:17Juliet's making a mess with paper mache.
24:20It's an easy and affordable way to express your creative side.
24:26And looking for something simple yet saucy tonight?
24:29I got you sorted.
24:32Look at that.
24:33In the May issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine,
24:36it's all about the best of Australia.
24:38There are instructions from our nifty chopping board
24:41made of dense Australian hardwood.
24:43And Geneva van der Zijl takes board games to the great outdoors
24:47with her giant DIY checkers set.
24:50Getting quick to buy your tickets
24:52to the Creator Awards announcement in May.
24:55Pick up the May issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine
24:58at your local newsagents
25:00and get a bonus pair of durable gardening gloves.
25:09I have so many happy memories of getting crafty as a kid.
25:12I had so much fun getting messy.
25:15And during that creative process,
25:17I worked out what I wanted to do for a living as an adult,
25:19which was a massive bonus.
25:21But one of my favourite memories of creating things as a kid
25:25was using paper mache.
25:26And did you know you can use the same technique
25:28to create some really beautiful decorative objects for your home?
25:32And you only need things
25:34that you probably already have in your own cupboard.
25:41First up, you'll need a balloon
25:43and some pegs on the bottom
25:45to hold it down in a dish just like that.
25:49and I'm sure once I keep going,
25:50you'll recognise this process.
25:52The next thing you need
25:53are some torn up pieces of paper towel,
25:56some PVA glue and water.
25:58And the ratio of glue to water
26:00is one part glue to two parts water.
26:23One method you can use to apply the glue
26:26is to soak the pieces of paper in there.
26:28But I find it much easier to use a brush.
26:31You have greater control.
26:33And smaller pieces of paper,
26:35I find much easier to layer on.
26:53So that is layer one done.
26:56I just need to add another layer
26:58and then I'm going to show you something really special.
27:07Okay, layer two is done
27:09and I promised you something special
27:10and that is I'm going to put dried flowers
27:13in between the next layer.
27:15And I've dried them just using the microwave.
27:17It's very simple.
27:17You want to place the flowers or leaves
27:19between two pieces of paper towel
27:22and then put a dish on the top of that.
27:24And so that you don't burn them,
27:26I would suggest doing it in 30-second increments.
27:29This one might take about a minute and a half in total.
27:32And you want to just work out
27:33where you're going to place your flowers or leaves.
27:35I'm going to put my first one here,
27:37another piece of paper towel over the top
27:39and then your glue solution over that.
27:58Okay, so you want to make sure
27:59that you cover over all those little stems and leaves.
28:03Once that's done,
28:04you can set your lantern aside to dry.
28:07It'll take about 24 hours
28:08depending on how warm the weather is.
28:11Now, lampshades are such a great way
28:13to update your decor
28:14because they're so affordable.
28:16This one is just off the shelf.
28:17It's a white one
28:18and I've given it two layers
28:20of that same paper with the glue
28:22and then I'm going to add these beautiful little fern leaves.
28:27I've dried them out in the microwave
28:28like I did with the lavender
28:29and I'm going to just place them on like that.
28:33And ferns in decor are such a timeless decorative style.
28:53And that's it.
28:55How beautiful.
28:56I've used a matte finishing spray just to seal it
28:58and with this little guy,
29:00we just need to cut the balloon
29:03before I can place a flameless candle inside.
29:06It's going to be so pretty.
29:11Oh, how gorgeous is that?
29:13There is something very classic and timeless about these
29:16but they also feel quite modern.
29:18They'd sit beautifully in any home.
29:24You can see why we all loved this as kids.
29:27It's an easy and affordable way
29:28to express your creative side.
29:30But it's not just for little kids.
29:32For adults too,
29:33it's a beautiful way to decorate your home.

31:29of Better Homes and Gardens magazine
31:31from your local newsagent
31:32and you can collect yourself
31:33a pair of bonus gorgeous gardening gloves.
31:42All right, it's midweek.
31:44Let's say it's Wednesday.
31:45You've been busy all week.
31:47The kids want dessert.
31:48You haven't got time.
31:49No, you do.
31:50Because I've got a dessert
31:51that's going to take you
31:5210 minutes from start to finish
31:54and I'm going to make you a hero.
31:56Let's go.
31:57The dessert I'm going to make
31:59is an old-fashioned steam pudding
32:02but my little twist on it is
32:05I do it in the microwave.
32:06That's what gives us the speed.
32:08You can steam it if you want.
32:10It's Wednesday night.
32:11We're busy.
32:12Let's go.
32:13Right.
32:13There's two parts to this dish.
32:15There's a wet part
32:16and a dry part.
32:18So the wet part is
32:20150 mils of milk
32:22full cream
32:23that goes in.
32:27One whole egg
32:30that goes in.
32:34And I'm going to spice it
32:36so I'm going to use
32:37a teaspoon of nutmeg
32:39a teaspoon of cinnamon
32:41and a half teaspoon of ginger powder.
32:44Half in.
32:47give that a whisk.
32:53All right.
32:54Next up
32:56a little bit of orange zest
32:58and a little bit of orange juice
32:59which is going to give you
33:00a bit of sweetness.
33:01So outside your skin.
33:03Right.
33:06A bit of juice.
33:08Juice.
33:14We're going to add
33:1575 grams muscovada
33:17of sugar.
33:17So when it melts
33:18it sort of gets
33:19really moorish
33:20and thickens a bit
33:21so throw that in there.
33:2375.
33:25I've got a teaspoon
33:26of vanilla essence
33:27or fresh vanilla
33:28if you've got it.
33:38Now we add
33:38our dry ingredients.
33:39So I've got
33:40175 grams
33:41of plain flour
33:45so that goes in.
33:47I've got my baking powder
33:50teaspoon.
33:54I've got 75 grams of suet.
33:58Now suet adds a little bit of fat to the recipe.
34:01If you don't want suet
34:01you can dice in the same amount of ice cold butter.
34:04so that goes in.
34:07That's going to give you
34:08a nice creamy texture.
34:10Pinch of salt.
34:14Give it a good whisk.
34:19All right.
34:20So that's basically
34:21our batter mix done.
34:23Next up
34:24we've got
34:24a pudding bowl.
34:25So what you want to do
34:26is you want to butter
34:27to the sides
34:27so your mixture
34:29doesn't stick
34:30when you cook it.
34:31So I chill the bowl
34:32so the butter
34:32will stick to it.
34:40and just to make
34:41extra sure
34:42it doesn't stick
34:43I put a little bit of paper
34:44like a little hat
34:45on the bottom.
34:46So basically
34:46what I do is
34:47sheet of paper
34:48fold over once
34:50fold over twice
34:52and then
34:54you just work the corner.
34:57So you've got that
34:59you measure that
35:00across your bowl
35:01and then you tear it.
35:04and that should give you
35:05a circle.
35:08That's how you place go.
35:11So that goes in.
35:16Give that a little bit of butter.
35:25All right.
35:28So that's what we're looking at.
35:30That's about as hard
35:31as this recipe gets
35:32is making the little
35:33paper round.
35:35Got some golden syrup
35:36like about 100-150 ml.
35:38Enough to coat
35:39and enough left
35:40to sauce.
35:41So what you do is
35:42you pour it around
35:43the side of the bowl
35:45and in the bottom.
35:47So what happens is
35:49when this hits the heat
35:50the golden syrup
35:51is going to caramelise
35:53around your pudding.
35:54So you work quickly now.
35:56we're going to pour in
35:57our pudding mix.
36:01So just fill it
36:02nearly to the top.
36:06All right.
36:07So that's our pudding.
36:09All right.
36:09Got my lid.
36:10Just wet it a little bit
36:11so it sticks.
36:14I drape that
36:15over the bowl.
36:17Got some twine.
36:21and then just do
36:22a double nut.
36:25There you go.
36:28All right.
36:29So that's it.
36:30Going in the microwave
36:31for five minutes.
36:36All right.
36:37Five minutes.
36:38While it's in the microwave
36:39we've just enough time
36:40to make a sauce.
36:41Caramel.
36:42So we get our pan hot.
36:44I've got
36:45150 grams
36:46of a malt extract.
36:48If you don't have
36:49malt extract
36:50you can just use
36:51golden syrup.
36:52So 150 in the pan.
36:55Just going to let that melt.
36:57Let it bubble.
36:59All right.
37:00So it's starting
37:00just to loosen up.
37:01Bubble.
37:02You don't want to reduce it.
37:03You just want to get it
37:04hot enough
37:04that when you add
37:0525 grams of cold butter
37:07it's going to turn
37:08into a caramel sauce.
37:1830 seconds left
37:19on the clock.
37:20We've got the pudding
37:21ready to go.
37:21We've got the sauce.
37:25And bang.
37:26Done.
37:26That's it.
37:27Right.
37:28Do not put your finger
37:29in this yet.
37:29Let it cool.
37:30Get the pudding out.
37:38All right.
37:39Take my string off.
37:41So the lid sort of
37:42keeps all that steam in
37:43and helps you cook it.
37:47Oh.
37:54This could end
37:54in disaster.
37:57You've been waiting for it.
37:58I know you've been
37:58waiting for it
37:59but let's see.
38:00All right.
38:00You ready?
38:07Oh.
38:09Not this time.
38:12So we just take
38:13our little lid off.
38:16Oh.
38:20So what happens is
38:22all that golden syrup
38:24is caramelized
38:25and it sort of cooks
38:25a little bit
38:26into your pudding.
38:27So it's still nice
38:28and soft.
38:29Nice and spongy.
38:32we've got our warm
38:33caramel.
38:45Look at the steam
38:46coming off that.
38:51So that
38:52is my
38:53steamed pudding
38:55that wasn't steamed
38:56done in five minutes.
38:57You're welcome.
38:59This room's got to be hot.
39:00Hang on.
39:01I've never felt
39:02the way we do.

39:06Oh.
