Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking.
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the ripe banana, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into a generously buttered 1.5-liter baking dish, spreading it evenly across the base.
-
Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the light muscovado sugar, golden syrup, and 250 ml of water. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely.
-
Combine Sauce and Pudding: Carefully pour the boiling sugar mixture over the pudding batter in the baking dish, taking care not to disturb the batter too much.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The pudding is ready when it springs back lightly when pressed in the center.
-
Serve: Once baked, serve the pudding hot, ideally paired with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream to complement the warm, sticky dessert.
Enjoy this luscious Banana Caramel Self-Saucing Pudding as a sweet finale to any meal, ensuring a memorable experience for you and your guests!
