Method

Fist of all you need to take your chopped dates and put them into your medium size bowl and cover with boiling water. This will help to soften them before you add them to your batter
Ok, now they are soaking you can pre heat your over to 180C/ Gas Mark 5 and start to make your batter. So take your butter and sugar and beat together until light and fluffy and take your flour and add in your Bicarbonate of Soda and put to one side
Now add your eggs a bit at a time into your butter mix until they are completely combined
Now get your flour and fold this into your mix until all combined
By now your dates should be softened so you can drain any left over water and then add your dates to your batter and mix
You can now also add your milk and mix again as this will help to loosen your batter, then add to your dish and bake for approximately 30 mins until a knife comes out clean
Whiles your sticky toffee pudding is cooking you can make your sauce
So take your butter, sugar and half of your double cream (112ml) and melt on a medium heat until your sugar has dissolved, this will take approximately 5 mins then turn the heat up and let it boil for a few minutes then take it off the heat and stir in the last of your cream, then it’s done!
By now your pudding should be ready to come out the over so you can pour your sauce over and enjoy
