Treacle Pudding

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Although treacle pudding and sticky toffee pudding sound similar, they’re actually quite different due to their sweeteners and baking methods. Treacle pudding is sweetened with treacle and brown sugar, whereas sticky toffee pudding is sweetened with dates, sugar and a toffee sauce. Sticky toffee pudding is baked, while treacle pudding is normally steamed.

Ingredients:
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup or honey, divided
  • 3 tablespoons molasses, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
