Description
Literally translated ‘Pouding Chômeur’ means ‘Unemployed Man’s Pudding’. Sweet and satisfying, it comes from humble beginnings, when money was tight and bellies were empty. A fresh take on an old classic for a taste of true Canadiana!
Ingredients
- • 1 1/2 cups flour
- • 1/2 cup sugar
- • 1/2 teaspoon salt
- • 3 teaspoons baking powder
- • 1/4 cup butter, melted
- • 1/2 cup milk
- • 1 egg
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ***********************************
- • 2 cups maple syrup
- • 2 cups heavy cream
- • non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Coat an eight cup baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Add dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add butter, milk, the egg and vanilla and fold with a spatula until mixed well. Potion into six servings with a spoon or ice-cream scoop and drop side-by-side into prepared pan.
- Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, add cream and maple syrup and mix lightly with a whisk. Continue to stir as needed over medium-high heat until boiling. Then boil hard for two minutes and pour immediately over pudding batter. DO NOT MIX.
- Bake at 350F for 50 – 60 minutes. Remove from oven, cool and serve, warm.
Notes
Gypsy Note: Never turn your back on boiling cream or, in this case, boling cream and maple syrup. Because the MINUTE you do… it will boil over for SURE.
