STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

This is a classic English dessert and is an absolute favourite of mine. A moist and light date sponge is served warm with a simple toffee sauce. I think it's even better with a bit of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top too!

UDNY ARMS STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Udny Arms Sticky Toffee Pudding image

I've been told by a number of Scottish friends that the Udny Arms (in Aberdeenshire, Scotland) has THE best sticky toffee pudding. Thankfully they've made it available on the web! I've had a number of sticky toffee puddings since living in Scotland, but this one is by far the best. It is also very easy to make! (Recipe info from: Recipe collected by Bernie Jurasek from the Udny Arms Hotel in Scotland and shared with Pat Busst circa 1986.
