  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vinegar

  • 100 gm butter cut into blocks
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Keep a small pudding pan ready.
  • Cream butter and sugar till fluffy. Add in the apricot jam and egg and beat till combined.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients. Add half the mixture and half the milk and beat till combined.

  • Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the sauce and cook on low flame till it becomes a homogeneous mixture. Keep warm.
  • When the pudding is out of the oven, poke with a fork all over. Pour half the sauce over it, and allow it to rest for 30 minutes to soak up the sauce.
  • To serve, warm the remaining sauce. Cut into slices, pour the sauce over and enjoy.

Notes

To make the pudding eggless, substitute with ¼ cup yogurt or ¼ cup extra milk.
You can serve this pudding along with some ice cream or cold custard apart from the warm sauce.
