- Yields:
-
8 puddings
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 150 g self raising flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 125 g caster sugar
- 125 g butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 banana, ripe mashed
- 150 g pitted dates
- 50 g pecans
directions
- Preheat oven to 180C and line bases of 8 ramekins/individual pudding basins.
- Sift flour and baking powder together. Add sugar.
- Beat in the mashed banana, eggs and butter.
- Stir in the dates and pecans.
- Divide mixture between the ramekins (do not over fill! Leave about 1.5 cm) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the puddings are springy.
- Turn out and serve warm with a sauce* or garnish of your choice. (Easy to turn out when warm, but taste/texture improved a lot when it was barely warm.).
- *A simple white chocolate sauce was recommended - melted white chocolate mixed with cream. Based on the rather greasy cakes I had, I wouldn't have wanted cream or chocolate, but quite fancied some yoghurt or creme fraiche - just for tartness. Perhaps caramelly, butterscotchy, slightly whiskified sauces would be good too?

I work in a local museum, training to be a curator. I enjoy baking at weekends, mainly sweet stuff but the BF and I are trying to put a stop to the expanding waistlines. This means fewer, or smaller batches rather than sugar substitutes or margarine. Butter, cream and sugar all the way (in moderation)!
It's not a proper weekend unless I've burned myself, probably getting something in or out of the oven.
I learnt to knit with the support of the people in the Learn to Knit thread on the craft forum and am now involved with a fun local group. For laughs, I go to quite a few stand-up comedy nights around town.
