"Sticky Toffee Pudding is my favourite - but I wouldn't ask you to make it," said this week's guest - several times in fact. I couldn't ignore such blatant hint-dropping and consulted Delia for the nearest thing I could find.
I poured the syrup into the bottom of the bowl then mixed all the other ingredients together and poured the mixture on top. So far, so foolproof. After tying on a foil lid I improvised a steamer with the largest saucepan I could find (basically the same size as the bowl) and boiled for around two hours.
It was a nervewracking moment when I wrestled the steaming bowl out of the water but although the pudding refused to turn out, it was beautifully cooked through and with a little extra syrup and some cream was really good. The wholewheat flour gave it a nutty, flapjacky taste and stopped it being too stodgy or sweet.

Chris says... Sticky, tasty and not too stodgy - I would happily eat this again!
Microwave cake is the way forwards! also, I hate to say this, but as good as this surely was, technically this isn't a true sticky toffee pudding...
ReplyDeleteI realise I've just volunteered myself to do better next time I'm down...or when you guys come up! There we go, what an incentive!
ReplyDeleteI make half-quantities of the recipe and microwave it for about 3.5 to 4 minutes. Works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteTreacle pudding is different from sticky toffee pudding - the latter is dark with dates etc. Treacle pudding would originally have been steamed with black treacle/honey and a hint of ginger but has metamorphosed into golden syrup in recent decades!
