Date and Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding
Number of People - 6 - 8
Adaptations were made using Tenina’s Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding and AWW ‘Old Fashioned Favourites’ recipe
Ingredients:

Cake
80 g pitted dates
120g brown sugar
30g butter
125ml milk
150g SR flour
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence

Sauce
110 g brown sugar
40 g butter
430 ml boiling water
1˝  tabsp cornflour

Preparation:
1.   Set oven 180⁰C – grease 2 litre shallow ovenproof dish.
2.   Chop dates 6 sec speed 7 – add melted butter (I did this in the m’wave ) + all other ingredients.
3.   Mix 20 sec speed 6 – scrape down sides of bowl – mix further 30 sec speed 6.
4.   Spread mixture into prepared dish
5.   Without cleaning bowl, place all sauce ingredients into TMX bowl and blend speed 4 / 10 - 15 sec
6.   Pour sauce slowly over the back of a serving spoon (prevents sauce sinking immediately to the bottom of the mixture) onto mixture in the dish.
7.   Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Serve warm with ice-cream or dollop whipped cream

This works well being made in advance then zapped in m'wave to warm for serving!!!

Chelsea - This is divine! My family thank you - BIG TIME!!!
I melted the butter in the bowl and then added the dates and chopped them in with the butter.  There isn't a lot of butter so they still chopped well.  I just gave the lid and sides a quick scrape before adding the other ingredients. Can you tell I hate washing up?

Wonder - Made this a few nights ago and it was liked by all. Not too sweet and the sponge texture was lovely.

KerrynN - I decided to cook it early and then left it in the warm oven. Everyone enjoyed it however I found it much too sweet for me.

oh yum - you gotta love winter!

And the extra few blocks one needs to walk each morning because of desserts such as this - we seldom have desserts during summer apart from a piece of fruit.

I love self saucing puddings. They seem so special with little work. Another one to add to my favourites.

Cookie this was great the second time - we had left overs last night - zapped 30sec and it was lovely, the sauce had thickened somewhat - so tasty.

Chels I am so pleased to contribute to the your family's dinner fare as so often I go to your blog as I know that the recipe I want is a Chelsea special - I should also file according to recipe developer as well as categories (beef, chicken, desserts etc). Cheers

Thanks Robyn.

I forgot to add that I melted the butter in the bowl and then added the dates and chopped them in with the butter.  There isn't a lot of butter so they still chopped well.  I just gave the lid and sides a quick scrape before adding the other ingredients. Can you tell I hate washing up?

Will this be OK to make in advance until step 6 and then put it in the oven when I am ready for it?
