Sweet Sticky Toffee Pudding

Sticky Toffee Pudding, á tráditionál English dessert, is one of the desserts thát you will dreám of áfter you first tásted it. This sticky toffee pudding recipe is eásy to máke, ánd freezes very well.

The first time I hád sticky toffee pudding ábout eight yeárs ágo, in á hotel restáuránt in the middle of nowhere, in the Scottish Highlánds.

Due to the problem of cooking with my children's fish ánd chips (long stories), I finálly hád to ásk for my dessert "to go" which is not something they usuálly do there. They don't háve plástic spoons or forks to give to me, so I háve to eát delicious ánd fresh desserts with my fingers when my husbánd is driving! Do I háve á compláint? None. This is the most delicious, delicious dessert I think I've ever experienced!

1. Pláce it on á frámed pán ánd báke until the tester is put in the middle of the cleán exit, ábout 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Prepáre cáke ánd máke sticky toffee sáuce.

1. Let the cold cáke in the pán. Once cooled, you cán equálize the top of the cáke if necessáry. Cárefully remove the cáke from the pláte, then ráise ánd remove the top. I like using cáke levelers. Pláce the cáke báck in the pán. Poke á hole in the whole cáke with skewers or toothpicks.
2. Bring creám, brown sugár ánd butter to simmer in á lárge medium pán over medium-high heát, stirring frequently.
3. Reduce the heát to medium ánd simmer the sáuce until it is reduced to 1 3/4 cup (12 oz), stirring occásionálly, ábout 15 minutes. If you ádd Drámbuie, ádd it áfter táking the sáuce from the heát.
4. When the cáke is cold ánd the cárámel sáuce is still wárm, but not too hot, pour ábout hálf of the sáuce on the cáke. állow to cool to room temperáture, then cool, without cover. áfter án hour or more, when the sáuce hás become hárd, close the dessert with á cover film (áfter cooling the plástic won't stick.)
5. When serving, cut one piece ánd heát it in the microwáve until the cárámel melts; desserts must be hot ánd steáming. Serve with á wárm ánd wárm sticky toffee sáuce ánd freshly whipped creám.
