Perfect for a cozy night in or an impressive finish to a dinner party, this recipe is easy to make and sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up these decadent puddings in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the puddings.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and dry cocoa powder. This ensures there are no lumps and gives the pudding a nice, even texture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg. Then, add in the milk and mix until well-combined.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brown sugar until it’s completely dissolved.
- Slowly add the egg and milk mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter.
- Gradually add this batter to the bowl of sifted dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a light and fluffy pudding.
- Lightly grease four small ovenproof ramekins or baking dishes with butter or non-stick spray.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray and put them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puddings have risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the puddings from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. The puddings will have a dense, moist center with a slight sauce-like consistency.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips:
- Make sure to use self-raising flour to help the puddings rise properly.
- Sift the dry cocoa powder to avoid any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Use room temperature ingredients to allow for easy mixing and better texture.
- To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
- Serve the puddings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
