Preheat oven to 375° F.

In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and 1/4 cup rice syrup with butter. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until syrup reaches soft ball stage (230 degrees on a candy thermometer) Immediately pour syrup into an 8 inch Soufflé dish, covering the bottom completely.

In a medium saucepan, whisk flour into milk and cook slowly over medium heat. Continue to whisk until mixture boils and thickens.

Mix in remaining 1/3 cup rice syrup. Add mixture to puree squash in a large mixing bowl.

Add eggs and mix well. Pour pudding mixture into Soufflé dish.

Bake in center of oven until custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool briefly on a cake rack.

Place a serving plate over the Soufflé dish and invert, shaking if necessary until pudding drops down onto the plate. Cover and chill before serving.
