Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding

Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding

Oh my! This is so completely delicious. The biggest shout out to my dear friend Cath who shared this recipe with me. Don’t be fooled by my less than stellar presentation, this is a great dessert. The adults loved it, the kids loved it. The only problem was we wished that the recipe made more! It is super easy and as I said, incredibly delicious, you really must try it!

Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
  2. Add pudding ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix together with an electric beater for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour into a lightly greased oven proof dish
  4. Place golden syrup and butter into a small saucepan and stir over low heat until butter melts.
  5. Add hot water and stir until well combined.
  6. Pour gently onto pudding mixture.
  7. Place in oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes.
  8. To check if cooked, make sure the center is puffed and pudding feels firm when pressed lightly.
  9. Spoon cake and sauce into bowls and serve hot.

NB. The first time I made this pudding, I freaked out a little with how much sauce there was. It does thicken quite quickly as it cools. If you prefer less sauce then reduce the water to about 1 cup.
