Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease 4-6 individual ramekins.
- Place the chopped dates in a bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. Sprinkle the baking soda over the dates. Let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the dates.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and brown sugar.
- Stir the melted butter, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup into the softened date mixture.
- Pour the wet date mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a tender pudding.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins. Leave a little space at the top to allow room for the puddings to rise.
- Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the puddings are baking, you can prepare a caramel sauce or butterscotch sauce to serve with them. Simply combine 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, and 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Once baked, allow the puddings to cool slightly. Run a knife around the edges and turn them out onto serving plates, or serve directly in the ramekins. Drizzle with the prepared sauce if using, or a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy these delightful sticky date self-saucing puddings warm for the ultimate dessert experience.
Tips:
- Ensure the dates are finely chopped to allow them to blend seamlessly into the batter.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, resulting in a tender pudding.
- Let the puddings cool slightly before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
