Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding Thermomix

Thermomix Butterscotch pudding is one of the simplest desserts to make. Just a few quick steps and you have a delicious winter warming dessert.

This cakey, syrupy dessert is exactly what you want on a cold winter's night. Serve the pudding hot with a good quality vanilla ice cream and as the ice cream melts it becomes a part of the caramel sauce adding a creaminess to the deliciousness.

Butterscotch pudding is a popular retro dessert. The dessert had its "heyday" around the 1970s, coincidentally, when I was a child. My nan used to make all different versions of self-saucing pudding, but the Butterscotch pudding was my favourite.

I was always in awe of how boiling water was poured over the batter and then magically formed a sauce below the cake! It was "saucery" haha... see what I did there! I still find it a little mind-blowing how the soft cake rises as it cooks leaving a syrupy rich sauce below.

So this brings me to my tips & tricks. It's an easy recipe, but there are a few things to remember when making a self-saucing pudding.

Self Saucing Pudding Tips

• The water needs to be boiling hot when it's poured over the cake batter.
• Pout the water over the pudding carefully and evenly so as not to disturb the batter. Use the back of a spoon to help.
• Have your oven at the correct temperature, and ready to cook the pudding immediately. It can't sit out as the water will infiltrate the cake mixture.
• Cooking time will vary depending on the dish used. Watch the pudding, when the sponge is set the pudding is ready.
• Don't overcook the Butterscotch self-saucing pudding or the liquid in the sauce will evaporate and the sauce will be too thick.
• Serve the pudding straight away as the sauce will get soaked up into the cake if it's left to stand.

Step by Step Butterscotch Self Saucing Pudding Thermomix

I have taken some pictures to describe each step of the method. There are basically four steps;

1. Make a batter
2. Sprinkle over the sugar mixture
3. Pour over the water and syrup
4. Bake

Ingredient Substitutes

Most of the ingredients are very easy to find in your supermarket. If you're Australian or a New Zealander, you may even have all the ingredients in your pantry ready to go!

For our international readers, some ingredients may need some explanation or perhaps even a substitute product suggestion.

Cornflour - this is also known as cornstarch.

Dark Brown Sugar- this is a darker brown sugar than regular brown sugar. If you can't find it just use regular brown sugar. If you find it, buy it! It makes everything even more delicious!

Golden Syrup - This thick syrup has a delicious burnt caramel flavour. If you can't get it internationally in the supermarket try Amazon Golden Syrup. Alternatively, you can substitute for dark corn syrup, it's not the same but it will work. Honey or maple syrup can also be used but this will give a completely different flavour.
