POUDING CHOMEUR



Pouding Chomeur image

Though it translates to 'unemployed man's pudding,' pouding chomeur isn't cheap to make. The good news is you don't really need to eat this more than a few times a year anyway. It's the perfect dessert to pair with summer fruit or vanilla ice cream. If you use a bigger baking dish than I did, and pour over all the maple cream syrup, your cake should float over a pool of what will eventually be your sauce. If you just use a deep pie dish like I did, then just serve the extra sauce on the side.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups maple syrup
2 cups heavy cream
¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a deep baking dish and place it on a sheet pan.
  • Bring maple syrup and heavy cream to a boil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off heat once mixture starts to bubble, stir, and set aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using a spatula or electric mixer until creamy and well combined. Whisk in vanilla extract and 1 egg until incorporated. Mix in the other egg. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix with a spatula until batter is just combined.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared dish and pour the maple-cream sauce on top, stopping between 1/2 to 1-inch from the top of the dish. Reserve any extra sauce.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; serve pudding with any extra maple-cream sauce.

POOR MAN'S PUDDING (POUDING CHOMEUR)



Poor Man's Pudding (Pouding Chomeur) image

Living in Quebec you learn many things. One, you learn that shoveling snow is considered a winter pastime. Secondly, and more deliciously, you learn that maple syrup can be put on a heck of a lot more than just pancakes (crepes up here). This little recipe is call Poor Man's pudding, and there is probably a recipe for every single family in the Province. This is the one my wife's family makes, and is fantastic. Yes, it's a little sweet, but nothing an ice cold glass of milk can't fix!

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 ounces maple syrup (the real stuff)
18 ounces 35% cream
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large heavy pan, bring to a boil the maple syrup and the cream. Pay close attention, because it will boil over! Once a slow roll begins, continue for about 3 to 4 minutes, and remove from the heat.
  • With an electric beater, beat the butter and the sugar together. Add the eggs and continue beating for about 2 minutes.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and the salt. Add the dry ingredients into the the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.
  • Pour the batter into a 13x9-inch pan. Pour the maple syrup/cream mix on top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Enjoy with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or all by itself!
  • *NOTE*: a variant that I saw on a local television cooking show called for doing all the above steps, but using single serving baking cups. Before adding anything, put in one or two frozen raspberries, then the batter, followed by the maple/cream mix.
  • Makes an impressive and tasty quick dessert on a cold winter night for guests.

POUDING CHôMEUR



Pouding Chômeur image

Pouding chômeur--or "pudding of the unemployed"--is a sweet, sticky cake from Quebec, Canada. It originated during the Depression as an easy and cost-effective dessert using pantry ingredients. Originally, you would make a simple sauce with brown sugar, flour and water, spread it on the bottom of a baking dish and then top it with a vanilla cake batter. Once the economy picked up, maple syrup was introduced into the sauce and it quickly became a key ingredient. The result is a super moist cake that you serve warm, sauce-side up, preferably with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Whipped cream and fresh berries, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Put the maple syrup, cream and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute, then pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs, then beat again on medium-high speed until smooth. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then beat on medium speed until just combined and no lumps remain.
  • Dollop the cake batter on top of the maple sauce in an even layer. It's okay if some of the sauce is still visible once all the batter has been added.
  • Bake until the sauce is slowly bubbling at the edges, the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 24 to 27 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm, sauce-side up, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries if using.
