Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 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! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I was going to recommend the Delia recipe too, but was beaten to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkochicks Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I also made Nigella's, just the once. I have made Delia's several times, far better. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 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!

chrisnrob Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 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...
