Ingredients
3 tbsp Boiling water
0.5 cup Dates-roughly chopped
1 Butter (30 grams)
2 tbsp Brown sugar
2 tbsp Self Raising Flour
Egg-beaten
0.5 tsp Bicarb soda
- Caramel Sauce
1 butter (30 grams)
1 Vanilla essence
2 Milk
0.5 Brown Sugar
Directions
- Place the chopped dates, butter and water in a microwave safe bowl or jug
- Place in microwave for 1 minute until the dates are softened.
- Mix in the bicarb soda to break up the dates
- Add the sugar, egg and flour and mix to combine thoroughly
- Spoon into two mugs
- Place both mugs in the microwave 1 minute and 20 seconds
- To make the caramel sauce put sugar, vanilla, butter and milk in a microwave safe bowl/jug and place in the microwave for 20 seconds
- Remove and stir and repeat 2 more times.
- The sugar should be dissolved and the sauce smooth.
- As microwaves heat differently, you may need to heat for another 20 seconds if it is not smooth.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes then either drizzle over the puddings and enjoy or tip the puddings out onto a plate, drizzle with the caramel sauce and add a scoop of ice cream or cream.

It is a lovely, tender and buttery dessert.Yummy with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
