The surprising Canadian origins of a quintessential English dessert
In short: Sticky toffee pudding is a staple of British cuisine, but its true history might surprise you. This video provides a step-by-step guide to recreating this decadent, date-filled cake smothered in rich toffee sauce.
The process begins by soaking 225g of pitted and chopped Medjool dates in boiling water and baking soda for approximately 30 minutes. Once softened, the dates are mashed slightly before being incorporated into a batter made from flour, baking powder, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
The recipe involves creaming butter and brown sugar until fluffy, adding eggs individually, and alternating between flour and milk. After baking in a muffin tin at 180ºC (350ºF) for 20 to 25 minutes, the dessert is finished with a sauce made by boiling cream, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
