Sticky Icky
Recipe for Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce
I made very slight changes from this recipe.
Makes 16
250g chopped dates
1tsp baking soda
350ml boiling water
125g softened unsalted butter
180g dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
220g self raising flour, sifted
1tsp sea salt
Pinch of nutmeg
Preheat oven (180 degree celsius)
Soak the dates in boiling water and the baking soda.
Cream butter and sugar till pale. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.
Fold in the date mixture and flour&salt&nutmeg into the butter&sugar&egg alternating the date and flour ingredients.
Pour into cupcake molds and pop them in the oven for 18 minutes.
Toffee Sauce
120g dark brown sugar
2tbsp molasses or honey
1tsp vanilla extract
300ml thickened cream
Pinch of sea salt
Stir all the ingredients in a pan over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. If you like a thicker sauce, let it simmer for two more minutes. You can check its consistency by dripping some into cold water.
TADAHHHHHHH~~~~~~
