Banana and Butterscotch Pudding

I am finally home for Easter and can now bake lots again!

What is even better is that I have 4 weeks to bake with Imogen and we have some awesome things to make and decorate.

Today we had our own Mother's day seeing as we are now all home. We split the meals, my brother took on the brunch with eggs Benedict it was soooo good I wish he had made lots more! My sister made a seafood pasta for our main and I made the banana and butterscotch pudding. 

I followed a simple recipe on the internet, and really enjoyed making it as you think it shouldn't work but it does....I'll explain.

Ingredients 

For the banana cake:

120g plain flour

1 pinch salt

120g caster sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1 banana, mashed

200ml milk

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

85g unsalted butter, melted

For the butterscotch sauce:

140g brown sugar

4 tbsp golden syrup

250ml water, boiling

1. My First step was to preheat the oven to 180C. Then sift the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
2. Next add the banana, milk, egg, butter and vanilla and whisk together until everything is well combined. (Now i'm back home I get to use my mum's Kenwood Mixer!!)
3. Once combined, pour the mix into a greased dish a put aside.

4. The next job is the sauce, place the sugar syrup and water in a pan and bring to the boil. When it becomes runny and most of the sugar is dissolved, it's ready!

5. Here's the bit that makes you think, how does this work?!? Pour the sauce over the banana mixture, try pouring evenly around the entire dish and watch the butterscotch sink to the bottom.

6. Pop in the over and bake for approximately 35 minutes. 

When baked the pudding will be very hot because of the butterscotch sauce so be careful. This dish is best served straight out of the oven with vanilla ice-cream or custard.

As you break into the pudding, the banana bread should be light and steaming, with the bottom soaked in the sauce, fill each bowl and make sure you scoop the extra sauce in the bottom of the dish!!

Unfortunately within seconds this bake was almost gone, but i managed to save one picture for you, I promise I'll do better in the future, I know how important pictures are, I LOVE staring at food!!

(I know it looks a bit soggy but trust me the butterscotch is delicious!)

Enjoy...
