Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar Provides deep butterscotch flavor; substitute with regular brown sugar for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Plain Flour Acts as the foundation; no substitutions needed for best results.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder A leavening agent for rise; always ensure it’s fresh for optimum fluffiness.
  • 75 grams Unsalted Butter Adds moisture and richness; can be replaced with margarine if needed.
  • 1 large Egg Binds ingredients and contributes richness; aquafaba is a great vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Milk Hydrates the batter for a tender texture; use plant-based milk if preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Golden Syrup Infuses a distinct caramel flavor essential for butterscotch; dark corn syrup or maple syrup work as substitutes if needed.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Cornflour/Corn Starch Thickens the sauce without added sweetness; arrowroot can also be used if cornflour is unavailable.
  • 2 cups Boiling Water Creates the heavenly sauce layer during baking; ensure it’s boiling for best consistency.
For Serving
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream Complements the warm pudding beautifully; feel free to choose other ice cream flavors for a twist.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 6-cup baking dish with unsalted butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together dark brown sugar and cornflour until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine dark brown sugar, plain flour, and baking powder. Add melted butter, egg, milk, and golden syrup. Whisk until mostly lump-free.
  4. Pour the batter into your greased baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the sauce mixture over the batter.
  5. Carefully pour boiling water over the batter using a spoon to soften the stream.
  6. Bake for approximately 40 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean and the sauce is bubbling underneath.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Scoop portions into bowls, ensuring you include the sauce, and top with ice cream.
