betty's self saucing sticky date pudding
A warm "cake like" pudding, dotted with chopped sweet dates and walnuts (optional) baked with a caramel sauce underneath. Sticky date pudding is an iconic Aussie dessert, I have made and enjoyed many times. The perfect dessert to end a cold and chilly night.

How To Make betty's self saucing sticky date pudding
-
Step 1Pre heat oven to 375oF (180oC) and well grease a large 16 cup capacity oven proof dish (I use my large casserole dish or ceramic lasagna tray).
-
Step 2Sift the flour and cinnamon into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Make a well in the centre, add in the butter and milk. Fold in the dates and nuts (if using). Spread into the prepared dish.
-
Step 3Pour the prepared sauce (how to following) carefully over the batter. Use the back of a wooden spoon to pour the liquid over. Bake in the pre heated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the top is set. Serve with ice-cream and/or cream.
-
Step 4To make the caramel sauce: In a large jug, combine the water, sugar and butter. Stir until the butter is melted.
