Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 ml maple syrup
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 240 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 eggs
- 120 ml heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and set it aside.
In a separate saucepan, heat the maple syrup and heavy cream over low heat until warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to combine.
Carefully pour the warm maple syrup mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the syrup will sink to form a sauce as the pudding bakes.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Serve warm, scooping cake and sauce together into bowls. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a few fresh berries for added flavor.
