Hi

Im looking for an awesome sticky date pudding recipe to make on chirstmas day as our guests dont like traditional christmas pud.

Does anyone have a recipe or any tips as I dont normally make puddings so this is a new area of cooking to me,

Many thanks

I like this recipe from Come Dine With Me: http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/tv-show/come-dine-with-me-recipes/series-7/sticky-toffee-pudding-recipe

Except I use slightly less butter for the sauce, slightly lower heat and bake for an extra 5 minutes or so. The past few times I forgot to soak it in sauce and return to the oven, but it hasn't affected flavour!

I've brought it in to work a few time and everyone wanted seconds and asked for the recipe

This is featured in Nigella Lawson 'Nigella Bites' cook book. I have made several times, and is beautiful.





Ingredients

• 4 oz (ounce) Dark muscovado sugar
• 6 oz (ounce) self-raising flour
• 4 oz (ounce) Full fat milk
• 1 medium eggs
• 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
• 2 oz (ounce) unsalted butter (melted)
• 7 oz (ounce) Dates (chopped and rolled)

For the sauce

• 7 oz (ounce) Dark muscovado sugar
• 1 oz (ounce) unsalted butter (in little blobs)
• 17.55 fl oz (fluid ounces) water (boiling)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5 and butter a 11/2-litre capacity pudding dish.
2. Combine the 100g dark muscovado sugar with the flour in a large bowl. Pour the milk into a measuring jug, beat in the egg, vanilla and melted butter and then pour this mixture over the sugar and flour, stirring - just with a wooden spoon - to combine. Fold in the dates then scrape into the prepared pudding dish. Don't worry if it doesn't look very full: it will do by the time it cooks.
3. Sprinkle over the 200g dark muscovado sugar and dot with the butter. Pour over the boiling water (yes really!) and transfer to the oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes, though you might find the pudding needs 5 or 10 minutes more. The top of the pudding should be springy and spongy when it's cooked; underneath, the butter, dark muscovado sugar and boiling water will have turned into a rich, sticky sauce. Serve with vanilla ice cream, creme fraiche, double or single cream as you wish.
