Sticky toffee pots are individual desserts with gloriously sweet sauce around a sticky date pudding. They are not for the faint hearted in terms of ‘sweetness’ but you only need a small portion. Serve them in their pots with a side dish of crème fraiche.
Try substituting dates with bananas, even those old brown patchy bananas, the flavour will be lovely.
Cooks Know How: You will enjoy melting the butter and sugar to make the glaze topping that goes in the ramekin dishes first. You will see how you repeat the melting method in order to create the pudding mix. You will also notice the use of breadcrumbs to replace some of the flour and how the chopped dates cook gently to go soft in this mixture.
