Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (around 1.5 liters capacity) with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, chopped almonds, and orange zest.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the melted butter, milk, and lightly beaten egg.
- Mix gently until all the ingredients are just combined and you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, mix the corn flour with a small amount of the orange juice to make a smooth paste.
- Gradually add the rest of the orange juice, stirring continuously to ensure the corn flour is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
Carefully pour the orange juice mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; this liquid will sink through the batter as it bakes and form a sauce underneath the pudding.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set but still has a soft, saucy layer underneath.
Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This pudding is best served warm. Scoop generous portions into serving bowls, making sure to include some of the delicious sauce from the bottom.
For an extra touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature to facilitate easier mixing.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Finely grind the almonds if you prefer a smoother texture in the pudding.
- Zest the orange just before using it to retain its fragrant oils and maximize flavor.
- Consider using a baking dish that’s slightly larger to prevent overflow as the pudding bakes.
- Allow the pudding to rest for a few minutes after baking to help the sauce thicken slightly before serving.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
With its tantalizing blend of orange zest and almond goodness, this self-saucing pudding is a sure way to end any meal on a high note. Enjoying this dessert fresh out of the oven will ensure you get the perfect mix of cake and sauce, demonstrating just how rewarding homemade treats can be. Bon appétit!
