Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 120 milliliters milk
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 250 milliliters boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon so it gently covers the top of the dish. Do not stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the sponge layer comes out clean.
Allow the pudding to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The sponge will be on top, and a caramel sauce will have formed underneath.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream, if desired.
