120g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
1/2 cup pecans
60g
1/2 cup espresso coffee
120g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish:
- Grease a 1.5-quart (1.5-liter) baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, lightly beaten egg, and maple syrup. Mix well to fully incorporate all the wet ingredients.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the self-raising flour and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Fold in Pecans:
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Prepare Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the hot espresso coffee and light sour cream. Stir until smooth.
8. Add Topping:
- Slowly and evenly pour the coffee and sour cream mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
9. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Serve:
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. The pudding will have a delicious, saucy bottom layer with a spongy top. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- To enhance the flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping them and adding them to the pudding.

- Make sure to use freshly brewed espresso for a more robust coffee flavor.

- Serve the pudding warm to enjoy the gooey, self-saucing layer at its best.

- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, consider adding a bit more maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving.

- Pair this pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
