Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (about 8x8 inches) and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. Set aside while you prepare the caramel sauce.
In the greased baking dish, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well to form the base of the caramel sauce.
Pour the hot water over the sugar mixture in the baking dish and stir gently to combine. This will create the caramel sauce as it bakes.
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the prepared dough evenly over the caramel base. The dough will create soft dumplings as it bakes.
Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle with vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy!
