STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

ABSOLUTELY SINFUL! STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH PECAN TOFFEE SAUCE



Absolutely Sinful! Sticky Toffee Pudding With Pecan Toffee Sauce image

This is as wicked as it sounds. A truly delectable combination of flavours and textures that are light and melt in the mouth. I would choose this as a Christmas or New Year dinner party dessert, as the puddings freeze well and are no trouble to re-heat. A modern British classic - sticky toffee pudding was thought to have originated from the Sharrow Bay Hotel in Ullswater in the Lake District of Northern England There is also a school of thought that John Tovey at Miller Howe in Windermere was the first to make this. Either way, the pudding is as iconic today as it was when it was first baked and devoured by the lucky diners of either one of those hotels! My recipe is based on the recipe that Delia Smith published in her Christmas cookbook, but I have made several changes that I feel work better for me, the main change is to increase the pecan toffee sauce quantities, as I have had grown people - mainly males - fighting over who gets the last dribble of this delectable sauce!! I hope you find the step-by-step photos useful when you make this for the first time. (This was featured in the September 2008 Cooking School Topic of the Month on Zaar - a wonderful event where lots of talented chefs on Zaar showed off their culinary skills through photographic tutorials!) Prep time includes the time needed for soaking the dates.

Time 1h48m

Yield 8 Little Sticky Toffee Puddings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces butter, softened
5 ounces soft brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
6 ounces self-raising flour
6 ounces stoned dates, chopped
6 fluid ounces boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, hot water added to make about 1/3 cup or 1/3 cup strong fresh coffee
3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
8 ounces soft brown sugar
6 ounces butter
12 tablespoons double cream (heavy)
2 ounces pecan nuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/360°F Lightly butter 8 x 3" ramekin dishes. I like to spray them to coat them evenly.
  • Soak the dates in the boiling water for about half an hour to soften them. Add the bicarbonate of soda, vanilla essence and coffee mixture, mix well and allow to soak for 30 minutes more.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, and beat well after each addition. Fold in the sifted flour, again a little at a time, gently mixing through after each addition.
  • Then add the date mixture. You should have a fairly sloppy mixture, it looks all wrong - but it is ALL right, I promise you! Divide the mixture equally between the ramekins, place them on a baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until well risen.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen them around the sides with a butter knife and turn out. The puddings can be cooled and frozen at this stage. After freezing, defrost, pour the hot sauce over and re-heat to serve as instructed below.
  • To serve:- Place the puddings in a shallow ovenproof dish. Heat the grill. Make the sauce by melting the butter, cream, pecans and sugar together in a pan, and stir well.When just boiling, pour HALF of the sauce over the puddings; and then continue to heat the sauce on a rolling boil until it has thickened.
  • Place the puddings 5" below the grill and cook for about 8 minutes, making sure that the nuts and sauce does not burn too badly; you should have toasted nuts in places, with a sticky toffee glaze which is almost crunchy.
  • Serve with the extra toffee sauce in a heatproof jug, chilled cream, custard, ice-cream, or just NAKED!

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Sticky Toffee Pudding image

Sticky toffee pudding isn't a creamy pudding as it's typically known in the US; it's a British dessert that consists of a moist date cake soaked in a rich toffee sauce. Versions vary, with some being a bit eggier and almost bread pudding-like in texture, while others have more of a light cake-like crumb. My version lies somewhere in between. I also add a cozy touch by steeping the dates in tea. (You can skip the tea and just use the same amount of hot water.) Served hot, sticky toffee pudding is a perfect winter dessert -- the kind that can be made in advance and reheated as needed.

Provided by Alejandra Ramos

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces Medjool dates
2 cups brewed hot tea (choose a basic black tea, like English Breakfast)
Nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for serving

Steps:

  • For the cake: Remove and discard the pits from the dates, then chop the dates coarsely. Place in a small heatproof bowl and cover with the hot tea. Let soak until the dates are soft, at least 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth; set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray or vegetable oil, then line with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and let simmer until melted and slightly toasted (it will smell nutty), about 5 minutes. Pour into the date puree in the blender. Add the granulated sugar and molasses, and blend for 1 minute. Add the eggs, kosher salt and baking soda, and blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and add the flour. Stir until smooth and evenly combined, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes, make the sauce: Combine the butter, cream and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
  • To serve, cut the cake into squares then top with the toffee sauce. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt, if desired.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Cranberry Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla Cream, recipe follows
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan, if not nonstick.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda, allspice and cloves in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter with the pumpkin, brown sugar, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Divide the batter into the muffin pan. Bake until a wooden pick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
  • Slice the muffins horizontally into three pieces. Place a tablespoon of the Cranberry Caramel Sauce between each layer, finishing with a large spoon of the Vanilla Cream and a sprinkle of dried cranberries.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook the sugar over medium-low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help the sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook the caramel without stirring, gently swirling the pan until deep golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the cream and butter (the mixture will vigorously steam and the caramel will harden). Return to the heat and simmer, stirring, until the caramel is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries.
  • Beat the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until firm peaks forms.

GARY RHODES - STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Gary Rhodes - Sticky Toffee Pudding image

Gary Rhodes Recipe: "This is a good old English pudding which is made all over the country. I think this recipe originated with Francis Coulson of Sharrow Bay in Ullswater, and it works better than any of the other recipes I have tried. The best dates to use are Medjool, which come from India. They are plump and meaty with almost a molasses taste".

UPSIDE-DOWN STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Upside-Down Sticky Toffee Pudding image

This ooey-gooey good British dessert is best served warm with a generous scoop of maple toffee sauce for an extra dose of sweetness. This recipe comes from TV chef Nora Singley.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray
5 ounces pitted dried dates
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Pinch of cloves
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Maple Toffee Sauce
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle. Spray one 8 inch-by-3 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Place dates and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until water is almost evaporated. Transfer dates to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Add molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, and date mixture; beat to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour 1/2 cup maple toffee sauce into bottom of prepared cake pan; sprinkle with pecans. Pour batter into cake pan, smooth top, and transfer to oven. Bake until deep golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
  • Remove pudding from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a small offset spatula around edge of cake pan and invert pudding onto serving platter. Immediately pour additional maple toffee sauce over cake; let cool slightly. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-based saucepan to melt the butter and sugar, as this will help to prevent the mixture from burning.
  • Stir the butter and sugar mixture constantly until it has dissolved and is smooth.
  • Don't over-mix the batter, as this will make the pudding tough.
  • Make sure the pudding is cooked through before turning it out of the mold.
  • Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving, as this will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Sticky toffee pudding is a classic British dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, moist, and full of flavor, and the toffee sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made ahead of time, making it the perfect dessert for busy weeknights.
