Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago This dessert matches the charm and popularity of the Sticky Toffee Puddings with Pecan Toffee Sauce – it has the same degree of lightness and, this time, the fragrance and spiciness of preserved ginger, which takes the edge off the sweetness beautifully. ...

Ingredients

Sticky Gingerbread Puddings with Ginger Wine and Brandy Sauce

Ingredients

4 oz (110 g) stem ginger in syrup (8 pieces)

1 heaped teaspoon freshly grated ginger

6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour

¼ level teaspoon ground ginger

1/3 level teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 level teaspoon ground cloves

½ level teaspoon baking powder

¾ level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2 large eggs

3 oz soft butter

4 oz molasses sugar

1 tablespoon black treacle

6 oz Bramley apple, peeled, cored and chopped small

FOR THE GINGER WINE AND BRANDY SAUCE

4 tablespoons ginger wine

2 tablespoons brandy

6 oz soft dark brown sugar

4 oz (110 g) unsalted butter

2 pieces stem ginger, chopped

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark , 350ºF

BUTTER your oven proof pudding glasses

Place ginger in a food processor and turn the motor on for about 7-10 seconds.

Be careful not to process for too long –

the ginger should be chopped small, but not puréed!

After that, sift the flour, spices, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl.

Then add the eggs, butter and sugar.

The way to deal with the treacle is to grease the spoon first and, using a spatula or another spoon, push it into the bowl to join the rest of the ingredients.

Now add the freshly grated ginger, then, using an electric hand whisk, whisk everything together gradually, adding 6 fl oz warm water until you have a smooth mixture.

Finally, fold in the apple and stem ginger.

divide the mixture between the buttered pudding basins,

stand them on a baking sheet and bake in the centre of the oven for 35 minutes,

or until they feel firm and springy to the touch.

Remove them from the oven and let them stand for about 5 minutes, run a small palette knife around the edges of the tins and turn them out.

Allow the puddings to get completely cold and keep them wrapped in glad wrap until you need them.

SAUCE

To make the sauce,gently melt together the sugar and butter until all the granules of sugar have completely dissolved,

whisk in the ginger wine and brandy,

add the chopped ginger and the sauce is then ready to serve.

To serve the puddings: pre-heat the grill to its highest setting and arrange the puddings on a heatproof dish or tray.

Spoon the sauce over, making sure that no little bits of ginger are actually on the top of the puddings

place the whole thing under the grill, so that the tops of the puddings are about 5 inches from the source of heat.

llow them to heat through – which will take about 5-8 minutes – by which time the tops will be slightly crunchy and the sauce will be hot and bubbly.

Serve with chilled whipping cream or whipped cream.
