SAUCE
Blend the conflour with water in a saucepan then stir in the brown sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir on a low heat until the sugar and butter are melted then increase the heat and continue stirring until it boils and thickens.
for a quick tasty pudding this was excellent. I did not line the dish, just greased it and it came out perfect and looked sensational. In the list of ingredients for the pudding no sugar is listed but under 2 in Method, the instructions say to stir in sugar. I did not use any and it was fine. Also I did not have dried ginger so used a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger which gave a nice background taste to the pud.
REGARDING the sticky date pudding,you didnt tell us how much sugar to put in the pudding?
I should try this one for a quick dessert .. sometimes u need to prepare something in no time , and this seems niiice .. Thanks ...
FABULOUS recipe! Simple and successful! I guestimated about 3/4 of a cup of sugar... perhaps a bit too much :P But it was awesome ;)
