Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cup optional sauce (caramel, vanilla glaze, or fruit)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or similar-sized pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan, about 10 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzling with your choice of sauce, such as caramel, vanilla glaze, or stewed fruit sauce.
