Description
This delectable poor man’s pudding is made for maple lovers. Similar to bread pudding but made from butter, sugar, eggs and flour, this pudding is baked with a syrup of maple and heavy cream. Totally divine!
Ingredients
1 1/3 sticks butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
2 1/3 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 t Pumpkin Pie Spice (optional and to taste)
2 c maple syrup
2 c heavy cream
3 apples to roast (optional) I used Honey Crisps and Granny Smiths
Ice Cream or Whipped Cream to serve (optional)
Instructions
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamed and smooth.
Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add flour and baking powder and pumpkin pie spice if using. Stir until incorporated.
Chill batter at least two hours and up to 24.
An hour before serving, preheat oven to 450. Bring maple syrup and heavy cream to boil in a large saucepan.
Divide the chilled batter among 10 small, 1 cup ramekins. I used coffee cups for a few but make sure yours are able to be baked in.
Pour maple cream over batter, stopping about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until tops are bubbling and caramelized, 20 minutes. Serve immediately with ice cream, whipped cream, or apples!
Optional: To roast apples: Butter a baking dish. Slice apples into large wedges. Place in baking dish and sprinkle with a bit of pumpkin pie spice if using. Save a little bit of the heavy cream mixture and toss this with the apples, too. Roast along with pudding until apples reach desired doneness.
Notes
*Does not include 2.5 hours chill time
