Ingredients: For the Pudding:
– 1 cup flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon apricot jam
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon vinegar
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the Sauce:
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 cup butter
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pudding:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, apricot jam, baking soda, and baking powder.
– In a separate bowl, mix the milk and vinegar, then add the egg and melted butter. Whisk well.
– Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
– Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
2. Bake the Pudding:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
– While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce.
– In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter, and heavy cream.
– Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
– Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine and Serve:
– When the pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot sauce over it, ensuring it soaks evenly.
– Let the pudding sit for a few minutes to absorb the sauce.
5. Serve:
– Serve the pudding warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
