Winter is officially here and with it comes the BEST winter puddings, and the king of those has to be the sticky date. Who knew this pud was the most simple of puds to make?
330g dates, pitted and diced
1 cup boiling water
2 tsp bicarb
Combine and let the dates soften and get mushy
200g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
100g unsalted butter, super soft
2 eggs
50g brown sugar
Combine all the ingredients + dates together and mix until cohesive.
Pour into your pudding dish and bake at 160c - I’m using the intensive bake function on my Belling oven which cooks this beautiful pud in just 15 minutes.
For the sauce, combine
400g thickened cream
200g dark brown sugar
70g unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla
Into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour half the sauce over the hot pudding, reserving the other half to serve.
