3. Date and Toffee Pudding
Drawing inspiration from a date sandesh I had at a friend's place, this pudding is a delight with children. What's more, it is packed with nutrition and is great to have either warm or cold.
Preparation time: 20-30 mins
Baking time: 40-45 mins at 180 degrees Celsius
Ingredients for Pudding:
Butter - 125gms
Brown sugar - 150 gms
All-purpose Flour - 400 gms
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Dates - 400 gms
Water - 1/2 litre
Ingredients for Toffee Sauce
Cream - 250ml
Butter - 250 gm
Sugar - 500 gm
Vanilla Essence - 5 drops
Method:
1. For the Toffee Sauce: Place butter and sugar in medium saucepan on medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture turns a deep amber color. Carefully stir in cream and vanilla (mixture will be bubbly). Whisking constantly, cook until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
2. Boil dates in water till they are pulpy. If you add a pinch of baking powder to the dates while they are boiling, they will be softer.
3. Cream the butter with brown sugar - simply whisk the two ingredients in a bowl.
4. Add eggs to the mixture and blend well till fluffy.
5. Add flour and baking powder.
6. Add 500 g toffee sauce and then add boiled dates.
7. Pour into the greased pans (or one individual mould, if you like) and bake at 180-200 degrees Celsius for 40 to 45 minutes. Make sure pans are extra greased in order to take out the pudding easily.
8. Serve hot or cold with toffee sauce. If you like, this pudding can also be served with maple syrup.
