Indulge in the comforting and delectable flavors of a Pecan Self-Saucing Pudding. This dessert is the perfect combination of rich butterscotch with the delightful crunch of pecans, all in a self-saucing pudding that creates its own luscious sauce as it bakes.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 6-cup capacity) with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and self-raising flour. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the milk and beaten egg to the mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup and corn flour. Stir until the corn flour is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Fold the chopped pecans into the batter. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the maple syrup mixture over the top of the batter. Do not stir; as the pudding bakes, the syrup will sink to the bottom to form a sauce.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake-like top comes out clean.
Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. The pudding will have a cake-like top and a rich butterscotch sauce underneath. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
