View all comments (7)oh and forgot to mention the sauce, AMAZING!!!! Rib sticking stuff!! Combined with the pudding, HEAVEN!!!
Oh my goodness this is the best thing i have ever made in my life. It is THAT good, I have impressed myself!!! There is loads though. I would like more info on what is defined as a roasting tin though. I used two loaf tins, and to be honest these were filled up and when they started cookin started to bubble over, so u could have fill a couple of ramakins too! Will know for the next time. And apparently it freezes well, so, bonus! This is the tastiest sticky toffee pudding I have seriously ever tasted. Im so impressed with this recipe!! ten million shiny stars for this!!
My partner made this last night, and it's worth the effort. Gorgeous. A lot more than 4 - 6 portions though, so be ready to freeze leftovers
Just made this sticky toffee pudding and there was loads just as well as it is the best i have ever had. Well done James. the sauce is to die for.
seriously though i cook a lot for lots of people , and this is simply rated the best version of the best dessert out . try not blitzing all the date mixture to give added texture............sorry james - i still give u credit !
This has to be the ultimate pudding! I suggest you make at least double the quantity of sauce which, keeps well if refridgerated. My wife says this is the best pudding I've ever made and I've been cooking for her for 20 years.
I made this pudding and it is divine. I highly recommend making it. It must have about a million calories but so worth it. Delicious served with vanilla ice cream...
