Butterscotch self-saucing pudding

Get ready to indulge in a classic dessert that combines a soft, fluffy cake with a rich, caramel-flavored sauce. This butterscotch self-saucing pudding is perfect for cozy nights in or special occasions.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease a 1.5-quart (6-cup) capacity baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup self-raising flour. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter, lightly beaten egg, and milk. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5. Pour Batter into Dish:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Prepare the Topping:
In a separate bowl, mix 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1 tbsp corn flour until the corn flour is completely dissolved.
7. Add Boiling Water:
Gradually pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water into the maple syrup mixture, while stirring continuously to ensure it's well combined and smooth.
8. Pour Topping Over Batter:
Carefully pour the syrup mixture over the batter in the baking dish. It may seem like a lot of liquid, but it will transform into a delicious sauce as it bakes.
9. Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to the touch. The sauce should be bubbling up around the edges.
10. Cool Slightly and Serve:
Allow the pudding to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly.
11. Enjoy:
Serve the butterscotch self-saucing pudding warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.

- Use room temperature butter and egg to ensure a smooth batter.

- Don't overmix the batter; just combine until ingredients are well incorporated.

- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

This butterscotch self-saucing pudding is the perfect way to end a meal. Its dreamy combination of cake and sauce is sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy this comforting dessert fresh out of the oven!
