I participated in a recent swap and my partner, *maryL* sent me 2 wonderful cookbooks. This recipe was in the one entitled Family Cooking . Using my trusty scale, I converted the ingredients list to US measurement and served this pudding to dinner guests and everyone raved. Warning: It is very sweet! Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
2 medium eggs, beaten |
1 tablespoon water |
4 tablespoons golden syrup or 4 tablespoons honey |
8 tablespoons creme fraiche or 8 tablespoons ready-made custard, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut circles of parchment paper to fit the bottom of 4 (5 oz) ramekins.
3. Spray the ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and place the circles in the bottom.
4. Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
5. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and creamy; stir in vanilla.
6. Gradually beat in beaten eggs, alternating with 1 tablespoon of flour; beating well after each addition.
7. When the mixture is smooth, add any remaining flour and fold in gently.
8. Add a tablespoon of water and mix to form soft dough that will drop easily off a spoon.
9. Divide the mixture among the 4 ramekins, place on baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
10. Allow the puddings to stand for 5 minutes; run a sharp knife around sides and turn out on dessert plate, discarding paper.
11. Heat the syrup or honey and pour over the puddings; garnish with a couple of tablespoons crème fraiche or ready-made custard.
