Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 1.5-quart (6-cup) capacity baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup self-raising flour. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1 tbsp corn flour until the corn flour is completely dissolved.
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.
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.
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.
Allow the pudding to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly.
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.
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!

You can substitute brown sugar with an equal amount of coconut sugar or white sugar mixed with a little molasses for a similar flavor, though it may slightly alter the taste.
