The best sticky toffee pudding
This is without doubt the best sticky toffee pudding that you will ever eat. It never fails and is moist, rich and moreish. My kids love it as do my customers. I got this recipe years ago from a lady from Bathgate in Scotland, she was a talented baker and I still use a lot of her recipes.
ingredients:
250g/8oz chopped dates
180g/6oz plain flour
2 eggs (beaten)
250ml/ ½ pint water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
250g/8oz light soft brown sugar
vanilla essence
180g/6oz softened butter
method:
- cream butter and sugar till pale and fluffy.
- Add flour and baking powder together then mix lightly with butter mix, then slowly add egg beating well.
- Bring water to boil and throw in dates and bicarbonate. Purée dates well.
- Add vanilla to dates.
- Combine all ingredients lightly but thoroughly. Mix will look pale and runny at this stage.
- Bake at gas mark 5 / 180 c for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly.
Serve with butterscotch sauce.
