#  Sticky Toffee Steamed Pudding  


This version of a British classic is beautifully moist – and makes for a lovely weekend treat at this time of year. Serve it in slices with lashings of the sauce and even a scoop of ice cream if the mood strikes you.

Ingredients

    250g of chopped dates  

   300ml of boiling water  

   1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda  

   125g of unsalted butter, softened + 75g for sauce  

   175g of light brown sugar + 75g for sauce  

   2 eggs  

   185g of self-raising flour  

   75ml of double cream  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 160°C (Fan). Lightly grease the glass pudding bowl with some butter, dust with flour and tap out any excess. Set to one side.



 Step 2 

Place the chopped dates and boiling water in a saucepan and heat until the dates are soft and all of the water has been absorbed. Set aside to cool.



 Step 3 

Make the batter by creaming the 125g of unsalted butter and 175g of light brown sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.



 Step 4 

Add the eggs, making sure to incorporate them fully before finally adding the flour.



 Step 5 

Mix the bicarbonate of soda into the dates and stir thoroughly before mixing into the batter with a spoon/spatula.



 Step 6 

Pour the batter into the pudding bowl and bake for 40-45 minutes until risen, springy in the centre and an inserted toothpick/knife comes out clean. (Check it after 30 minutes and cover with tin foil if the top is looking too dark)



 Step 7 

Allow the pudding to cool slightly while making the butterscotch sauce.



 Step 8 

To make the sauce, put 75g of butter, 75g of light brown sugar and 75ml of double cream in a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.



 Step 9 

Using a tea towel, place a serving plate on top of the warm pudding and invert it, it should release by itself but you may have to encourage it a little. Drizzle warm sauce over the top and serve.
