Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar for pudding
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar for sauce
  • 2 cups hot water

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar for the sauce and sprinkle it over the top of the batter.
  • Pour hot water gently over the mixture (do not stir).

Baking

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is set and the sauce is bubbling underneath.

Serving

  • Serve warm, straight from the oven.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Best enjoyed within 2-3 days. To reheat, microwave for a short time, or warm in the oven until heated through. Make sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Ensure your water is hot to help create the sauce beneath the pudding.
