Description
Indulge in the rich, moist, and caramelized flavors of this classic British Sticky Toffee Pudding, a decadent and comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 1 cup (250g) chopped Medjool dates
– 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
– 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) square baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped dates and boiling water. Let the dates soak for 30 minutes to soften.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid. Mash the dates into a smooth paste.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
7. Add the mashed dates and the reserved date-soaking liquid to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
8. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the Sticky Toffee Pudding warm, drizzled with a toffee sauce or custard, and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
