I’m
not even sure where I found this recipe originally, but I’ve been making it off
by heart since I was 16 and it’s always been a favourite whenever I’ve pulled
it out. It’s such a simple recipe and the ingredients are so basic so it was
perfect to feed my flatmates back when I was a poor student!
You
really can’t go past chocolate self-saucing pudding. I like mine straight-up (I’m
a sweet tooth!) while Andrew usually drowns his in milk or cream if there is
any floating around.
I’m
trying out some new picture tutorials for my recipes as suggested by one
reader. Thank goodness for long almost-summer evenings so I have light for my
photos! This is a pretty basic one to start but I hope it helps some people.
Either way I had fun taking the photos!
Chocolate
Self-Saucing Pudding
50g Butter
50g Butter
1
C Plain Flour
1/2
Sugar
1/2
C Milk
2
t Baking Powder
2
T Cocoa (I usually add 2-3 I like it extra chocolaty!)
1/2
C Brown Sugar
1
T Cocoa
1
1/2 C Boiling Water
Preheat
your oven to 180°C.
1. Melt Butter in a pot, take off the
heat & add flour, sugar, milk, baking powder and cocoa.
2. Mix everything together and spread
into the base of a greased tin.
3. Combine 2nd measure of
cocoa and brown sugar and sprinkle over sponge.
4. Gently pour the boiling water over the
top of the sponge and place in the oven.
Bake
the pudding for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
This
amount of pudding will serve 4-5 people nicely. I hope you enjoy it!
I
must get around to doing an outfit post this week! It’s been ages since I have
dressed up to be honest. Ah, the pitfalls of working from home and wandering
around in track pants all day...I think I’ll have to change that!
I
hope all you guys over in the USA had a great thanksgiving weekend. It looks
like so much fun! Now I’m really looking forward to Christmas dinner with my
family. I can’t believe it’s only a month away! Speaking of Christmas, I’ll be
having a 12 days of Christmas
special here on my blog starting the 1st
of December!! I hope to have a sneak-preview post up in the next couple of
days for you to check out and see what might be coming up. There will be gift ideas, recipes
and decorating DIY’s. I can’t wait!!

I haven't written a post in a while but I keep getting logged out of blogger & I always need to refresh my page a few times before my updates will show - maybe it's a glitch in their system that they haven't fixed yet? I've mailed them too & no response or change yet!

ReplyDeleteChocolate self saucing pudding is the BEST! You make me want to make it for pudding! Hehe we had thanksgiving at our house because I felt like a roast, I made pumpkin pie and it's amazing! Hope your blogger fixes itself soon :)
ReplyDeleteI SO want chocolate self saucing pudding now!! You know - when I was a poor student and we wanted something sweet late at night we would ALWAYS make self saucing pudding. Must be a student thing;) Oh and I like mine straight up too - no dilution with milk/ice cream/cream for me!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite kind of pudding ever!! Although the way I make it is WAY more complex, I'll definitely try it this way next time =) And in a teacup! That looks like it would taste much better!
