Sticky Toffee pudding with a toffee sauce

1. Prepare the Sticky Toffee Pudding:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish.
• In a bowl, pour boiling water over the chopped dates and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the dates soften and the mixture cools slightly.
• In another bowl, cream the softened butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• One by one, beat in the eggs until thoroughly blended.
• Fold in the sifted flour until just mixed.
• Stir in the date mixture until evenly distributed.
• Once the baking dish is ready, pour the batter into it and smooth the top.

2. Bake the Pudding:

• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pudding is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the sauce.

3. Prepare the Butterscotch Sauce:

• In a saucepan, combine light brown sugar, double cream, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
• Simmer the sauce for a few minutes, or until it becomes somewhat thicker.
• Remove from heat and stir in TFS Butterscotch flavor drops to enhance the butterscotch flavor. Adjust to taste.

4. Serve:

• Cut the warm Sticky Toffee Pudding into squares or slices and drizzle generously with the warm Butterscotch Sauce.
• Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
