  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add egg and vanilla; mix until well combined.
  • Set aside.

  • Add flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 additions alternating with the date mixture; mixing between additions until just combined.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake in centre of oven for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean.
  • Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce.
  • Bring the sugar, butter and cream to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes, keeping a close watch, as it can boil over quickly.

  • Line a baking tray with parchment.
