Instructions
PUDDINGS
Bring 1 cup water to boil. Add dates. Stir through bicarb (it will start to foam). Remove from heat and stand for 10 minutes.
Beat 60g softened butter with 150g sugar until creamy.
Add eggs one at time, beating well between each egg
Add flour and date mixture and stir to combine all ingredients.
Pour batter evenly into 6 1-cup muffin cups and place them in the steamer.
Bring water to boil in the wok. Add steamer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes.
BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
Combine remaining sugar and butter, with the cream in a saucepan. Stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Turn out the warm puddings. Pour over the butterscotch sauce and serve with cream or ice-cream. Careful - they're moorish.
Notes
As this is steamed, it remains very light when substituting rice flour or other gluten-free flours.
