✅ 1 teaspoon baking powder
✅ ½ cup milk

For the Toffee Sauce:

✅ ½ cup butter, melted
✅ 1 cup brown sugar
✅ ¾ cup heavy cream
✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or individual ramekins.

2️⃣ Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, stirring until smooth.

5️⃣ Bake the Pudding: Pour batter into the greased dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6️⃣ Make the Toffee Sauce: While the pudding bakes, melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.

7️⃣ Add Cream & Vanilla: Slowly stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and salt, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

8️⃣ Assemble & Serve: Once baked, poke small holes in the pudding and pour warm toffee sauce over the top. Let it soak for 5 minutes before serving.

9️⃣ Garnish & Enjoy! Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or extra sauce!
