Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 8 individual ramekins or a muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the dates, grated ginger root, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the dates are soft.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble up. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and spice mix.
- Add the brown sugar to the date mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the date mixture.
- Stir in the milk and mix until well combined.
- Gradually fold the date mixture into the bowl with the flour and spice mix. Stir until just combined to form a batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the puddings comes out clean.
- While the puddings are baking, combine the heavy whipping cream and maple syrup in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the puddings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove the puddings from the ramekins or muffin tin and place them on serving plates.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over each pudding before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor; grate it finely to ensure it blends well with the batter.
- Make sure your dates are soft; if they are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes before chopping.
- When boiling the butter, dates, ginger, and water, ensure the mixture is well combined and the dates start to break down for a smoother pudding texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once you add the flour; overmixing can cause the pudding to be dense.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
