Best 4 Little Icky Sticky Puddings With Caramel Sauce Recipes

LITTLE ICKY STICKY PUDDINGS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Before you do anything else, place the dates and the water into a saucepan over a moderate heat and bring the mixture to a good rolling boil.
• Remove saucepan from the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda.
• Now, allow the date mixture to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Set the oven to 180C (350F).
• Grease a muffin tin (I use one that makes 12 muffins) very well.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Still beating, add eggs, one at a time, and beat until the beaters leave a'trail' in the mixture- it should be the consistency of whipped cream.
• Add vanilla and mix briefly to combine.
• Sift the flour into this mixture, then fold it in lightly but thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
• When the date mixture is cooled (no hotter than luke warm), tip it into the other ingredients and stir lightly but thoroughly to combine.
• A light hand in mixing at this stage will ensure light puddings.
• Don't worry that the mixture looks very liquid at this stage- that's how it's supposed to look.
• Spoon mixture into muffin cups, filling each cup almost, but not quite, to the top (they don't rise too much).
• Bake on the centre shelf of a preheated 180C (350F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer, inserted in the centre of a pudding, comes out clean.
• When cooked, remove tray from oven and allow puddings to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing to serve or to cool on wire racks.
• (If puddings stick, run a knife around the outside, and allow puddings to cool a little more before carefully easing out of the pan.) Serve warm with hot caramel sauce.
• TO MAKE THE CARAMEL SAUCE Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over a moderate heat and bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Serve over warm puddings.

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Bring cream, brown sugar and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer sauce until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Set aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
• Make cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 12-cup Bundt pan. Whisk flour and baking powder in medium bowl to blend; set aside. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, dates and baking soda in another heavy medium saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat; cool completely.
• Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla and half of flour mixture, then date mixture. Blend in remaining flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until cake rises and is golden on top, about 45 minutes. Pour 3/4 cup caramel sauce over cake; continue baking until tester inserted near center of cake comes out with no crumbs (only caramel sauce) attached, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert cake onto platter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Wrap cake airtight and store at room temperature. Cover remaining caramel sauce and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
• Cut cake into slices; drizzle caramel sauce over each slice.

• Add the bicarbonate of soda and ginger and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
• Coarsley mash with a potato masher.
• Cream together the butter, sugar and 1 egg.
• Beat in the remaining eggs one at a time.
• Once the eggs are well beaten, gently fold in the sifted flour and spices, add the date mixture and stir until well combined.
• Pour into the tin and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
• Cover with foil if over browning during cooking.
• Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out onto a serving plate.
• To make Caramel Sauce: Put all the ingredients in a pan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH TOFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Place dates in a bowl, pour coffee over dates, and let soak 15 minutes. Stir in baking soda.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
• Reduce speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, beating until combined. Add date mixture and remaining flour mixture, and beat until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Transfer batter to dish, and bake until cake is puffed and springs back in center when gently pressed with a finger, about 25 minutes.
• Sauce: Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium (so sauce does not boil over) and boil, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Remove cake from oven and pierce holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of cake with a wooden skewer. Pour half of hot sauce over cake and let soak 20 minutes. Serve warm with remaining sauce. Cake soaked in sauce and remaining toffee sauce can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day. Before serving, warm cake in a 300 degrees oven 10 minutes, and sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
