Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned peach slices (in juice)
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams self-raising flour
- 125 milliliters milk
- 75 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 250 milliliters boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 1.5-liter (6-cup) ovenproof dish.
Drain the canned peach slices and arrange them evenly across the base of the prepared dish.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually fold in the self-raising flour, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the dish, spreading gently to cover them completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cornstarch, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the pudding, allowing it to cover the surface evenly without disturbing the layers.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the sponge is golden and set on top (the sauce will form beneath).
Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy as is or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
