thank you Sha.... Yumm.... I cant wait, hubby is in for a treat, claret's sausage casserole and sticky toffee

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Wow, good old fashioned comfort food !

 

She's at work at the mo, but says it's a Delia recipe, I don't have any of her books, so will have to wait til Liz gets home & types it out for me, may not be in time for supper tomight though..

 

Aaah! Just googled it and found http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/little-sticky-toffee-puddings-with-pecan-toffee-sauce,804,RC.html Sounds deliciously familiar - I've been on the receiving end of one of Liz's STPs and they really are scrummy!! Happy munching!

Delia's sticky toffee pudding is the best! Mmmm!

The sponge isn't particularly special (IMO) but the combination with the sauce is to die for!

I was going to recommend the Delia recipe too, but was beaten to it.

Has anyone tried the Nigella 'easy' version? I think it's from Nigella Bites. Mine was complete disaster so just wondered if anyone else had some success or if I did something wrong?

[Berkochicks]

I also made Nigella's, just the once. I have made Delia's several times, far better.

Delia's version is a longstanding favourite in our house! But to make it easier, I usually use raisins instead of dates. I also put it in a square baking tin, rather than make individual puds. The toffee sauce is also essential - but again I don't bother with the pecans. I make half the quantity and pour it over the pud (after making some holes with a skewer). It must be good - I used to make it to serve in my Mums restaurant and it was very popular!

I have made the Nigella version several times. It works best in a non-fan oven. In fact, the best one ever was made in a paraffin fired oven aboard a yacht in Gibraltar!

 

I will have to give the Delia one a go...
