Method

Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    Chop the pitted dates into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates, cover the bowl, and let them soak for about 15 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together 100g of unsalted butter and 150g of brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the 2 large eggs, one at a time, along with 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture. Then, fold in the soaked dates and any remaining liquid from soaking.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Toffee Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt 100g of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 150g of brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes until dissolved.

  2. 8

    Add Cream

    Gradually whisk in 200ml of heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
