LITTLE ICKY STICKY PUDDINGS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

These old fashioned puddings have now been rediscovered by 'cafe society' and are common on the menus of the best restaurants. I cook them in a muffin tin to provide easy individual servings. They are so good I've given batches of them, together with a bottle of their delicious sauce, as Christmas presents. In winter, it's wonderful to make a batch or two and keep them handy in the freezer - simply reheat gently in the microwave or in the oven. The sauce will keep for at least a week in the refrigerator, but it's easy to make when you need it anyway. Many thanks to Lorraine from the beautiful Maleny Lodge Bed & Breakfast for this recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

170 g dates
300 ml water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
170 g caster sugar
60 g butter, chopped and at room temperature
2 large eggs
170 g self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
200 g brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
130 g butter, chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Steps:

  • Before you do anything else, place the dates and the water into a saucepan over a moderate heat and bring the mixture to a good rolling boil.
  • Remove saucepan from the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda.
  • Now, allow the date mixture to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Set the oven to 180C (350F).
  • Grease a muffin tin (I use one that makes 12 muffins) very well.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Still beating, add eggs, one at a time, and beat until the beaters leave a'trail' in the mixture- it should be the consistency of whipped cream.
  • Add vanilla and mix briefly to combine.
  • Sift the flour into this mixture, then fold it in lightly but thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
  • When the date mixture is cooled (no hotter than luke warm), tip it into the other ingredients and stir lightly but thoroughly to combine.
  • A light hand in mixing at this stage will ensure light puddings.
  • Don't worry that the mixture looks very liquid at this stage- that's how it's supposed to look.
  • Spoon mixture into muffin cups, filling each cup almost, but not quite, to the top (they don't rise too much).
  • Bake on the centre shelf of a preheated 180C (350F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer, inserted in the centre of a pudding, comes out clean.
  • When cooked, remove tray from oven and allow puddings to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing to serve or to cool on wire racks.
  • (If puddings stick, run a knife around the outside, and allow puddings to cool a little more before carefully easing out of the pan.) Serve warm with hot caramel sauce.
  • TO MAKE THE CARAMEL SAUCE Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over a moderate heat and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Serve over warm puddings.

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

For sauce
4 cups whipping cream
2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
For cake
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 cups chopped pitted dates
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Bring cream, brown sugar and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer sauce until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Set aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 12-cup Bundt pan. Whisk flour and baking powder in medium bowl to blend; set aside. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, dates and baking soda in another heavy medium saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat; cool completely.
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla and half of flour mixture, then date mixture. Blend in remaining flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until cake rises and is golden on top, about 45 minutes. Pour 3/4 cup caramel sauce over cake; continue baking until tester inserted near center of cake comes out with no crumbs (only caramel sauce) attached, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert cake onto platter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Wrap cake airtight and store at room temperature. Cover remaining caramel sauce and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
  • Cut cake into slices; drizzle caramel sauce over each slice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and kitchen tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the puddings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease the Ramekins: Make sure you grease the ramekins well before pouring in the batter. This will help the puddings come out easily after they're baked.
  • Bake the Puddings in a Water Bath: Baking the puddings in a water bath will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the Puddings Cool Slightly Before Serving: Once the puddings are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These little sticky puddings are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. The caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch, and it really takes these puddings to the next level. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these little sticky puddings a try. You won't be disappointed!
