Something Vanila

When making the hot sauce for Malva Pudding add a half of teaspoon of organic vanilla in, it is truly delicious.
For those who don;t have a Malva Pudding recipe, I have added one.

Malva Pudding Recipe

Serves 6-8

1 heaped tablespoon butter

3 heaped tablespoons apricot jam

1 egg

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

½ cup sugar

½ cup milk

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the beaten egg and jam and beat together. Add the dry ingredients and milk alternately and stir into the mixture. Pour the batter into a greased round dish approx 21cm / 8 inches.

Bake at 180C / 375F for 35 minutes until the top is browned and a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm with custard and cream.

Sauce

1 cup cream

100g butter

½ cup sugar

60 ml hot water

½ teaspoon organic vanilla (optional)

Warm together the ingredients until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved and pour over the pudding as it comes out of the oven. You can prick holes in the top to help the sauce soak in. 

With the sauce incorporated into the Malva pudding you serve it with custard and a dollop of vanilla ice-cream, we as South Africans love our sweet things.

Please enjoy!
