Sticky Toffee Puddings

This recipe makes 12 individual sticky toffee puddings. At Cookery School we use small ramekins but if you don’t have these at home you can use a muffin tin.

170g dates
175ml boiling water
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
175g soft brown sugar
110g butter

¼ tsp mixed spice

FOR THE SAUCE
75g butter, softened
150g caster sugar
6 tbs double cream

Method

Set the oven to 180oC/375oF.

First, butter and flour your pudding basins/muffin tins with plenty of butter and flour and place a baking paper disc on the bottom of each.

1. Chop the dates and place in a bowl. Cover with the boiling water, vanilla extract and bicarbonate of soda. Set aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar, beating all the time.

has dissolved. Tip the puddings out of their basins and pour over the hot sauce.
