Winter Warmers
I can't help myself it's just that time of year, time for yummy, warm, delicious desserts and here is the recipe for another one of my families favourites for chilly winter nights.
Sticky Date Pudding
1 cup SR flour
half cup brown sugar
2 eggs
50g butter
half cup water
1 cup of whole dried dates
splash of vanilla extract
1 tsp bicarb soda.
* Mix sugar and butter in your mixer till soft and creamy.
* Add eggs one at a time, mixing in well.
* Now add the flour while mixer is on a slow speed.
* In a small pot bring the water and vanilla to the boil
* Add the dates, leave for 2 mins giving dates time to soften.
* Now add the bicarb to the water and date mixture before adding it all to the batter in your mixer.
* Cook in a loaf tin, square dish or muffin tray on 160c for roughly 15 mins, time will vary depending on tray used.
Now the caramel sauce.....
2 TBS of brown sugar
1 TBS butter
2 TBS cream
*put all sauce ingredients into a small pot ad mix over a mild heat till it just starts to boil then remove from heat.
We like to serve ours with Connoisseur caramel, honey & macadamia ice cream. YUM!
