Ingredients:

• Puddings:

  • 75g Butter (at room temp.)
  
  
  • 150g Caster Sugar
  
  
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  
  
  • 175g Self raising flour
  
  
  • 125g Raisins
  
  
  • 175ml Boiling water
  
  
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla essence
  
  
  • 2 teaspoons Coffee essence
  
  
  • ¾ teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
  
  


• Sauce:

  • 175g Soft brown sugar
  
  
  • 110g Butter
  
  
  • 6 tablespoons Double cream
  
  
  • 100g Pecan nuts chopped (Optional)
  
  

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to: 180°C / 350°F

1. Begin by putting the raisins in a bowl & pouring boiling water over them. Then add vanilla, coffee & bicarbonate of soda, leave to one side.


2. Next in a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together beating until mixture is pale, light and fluffy. Now gradually add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. After that carefully and lightly fold in the sifted flour using a metal spoon, and then fold in the raisin mixture [including liquid]


3. At this point the mixture should look sloppy, this is what gives it the light texture.


4. Pour into a bowl and bake in the center of the oven for 25 min.


5. Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a saucepan and heating very gently until sugar has melted and all the crystals have dissolved.


6. To serve the puddings: pre-heat the grill to its highest setting and pour sauce evenly over pudding. Place under grill [top approx. 13cm away from grill]. Let heat for about 8 min. serve with cold pouring cream.

After freezing, de-frost, pour hot sauce over and re-heat
