Dates are usually with the fresh fruit in a long box. Black treacle is what we call your molasses. Here for all your foodie questions!

Stuart Summers

Not a huge fan of sticky toffee pudding, but my better half is! Looks to me like you did a great job making it - I love Nigella's recipes 🙂 Hope you're both doing well.

Simon

I love sticking toffee pudding. I think you made in the traditional way, the individual ones are a modern invention

Dave Wilkinson

I’d say that was a complete success. I know they are ridiculously expensive, but a Kitchenaid stand mixer would be useful and look amazing in that fantastic kitchen.

Aaron Conway

This was so funny! Thanks for all your patreon videos! I really look forward to them, they’re always great! I changed my patron payment to annually, so I’m going to be on patreon for another year!

Gem

Well done, it looked great! Personally I would have had custard with it though… I like sticky toffee pudding but it wouldn’t be my first choice, much rather have rhubarb crumble or maybe treacle tart (don’t worry it’s not the tar kind lol), yum!!!! Hope you’re having a good weekend 😄

What's going on with these cooking videos lately, that was really good. I'm missing the old kitchen disasters 😂. I watched really carefully for the jump cut when she slipped in the store bought one but nope, all legit. Good job. I like a Sticky Toffee Pudding but I don't think I've ever had one with date pieces in before, not sure about that.

Simon

I just checked and according to Wikipedia one possible origin is Canadian. One of the people credited with inventing it says she was told the recipe but Canadian Air force officers stationed in the UK

Looking goof I could just eat some off to Tesco's app I go. Tip for getting treacle/tar out is a hot spoon. I can help clean up as long as I can like the spoon and bowl out.

"Sticky toffee pudding, also known as sticky date pudding in Australia and New Zealand, is an English dessert consisting of a moist sponge cake, made with finely chopped dates, covered in a toffee sauce and often served with a vanilla custard or vanilla ice-cream." How can you make it without dates??

Will

Sorry, I meant with actual chunks, all the ones I've had the dates must've been mashed up

Mark J

Always fun watching your cooking skills - not my favourite dessert but that actually looked very nice.

Cloudcatcher

Made my Saturday morning! Crying with laughter at points🤣 Brilliant! I’m not a lover of sticky toffee pudding, more of an apple pie/crumble sort of guy and of course chocolate but if you haven’t already would love to see you take on making a Bakewell or even a Manchester tart. Thanks again 😃

Jamie Smith

Black Treacle is just Marmite in a fancy can! Also did you not notice the lion on the front of the can! If you look closely, its clearly dead with flies flying around it! “Out of the strong came forth sweetness” YUM 😋

Mark Walsh

Well did you and the Butler finish it or did end up in the bin ..Thanks for this week's vid .Have a good weekend. .Byeeee

Steve Mikre

Who needs a mixer when you have good old fashion Canadian elbow grease and determination...🇨🇦💪

Stephen Parker

Hi, Alanna, that was brilliant, I really enjoyed it and I love sticky toffee pudding but like Gem I would have custard with it. That was mighty good and it looked fine to me. I wonder what would happen if you did away with the dates and replaced them with chocolate. That might be good.

Malcolm Ross

Lyle’s Golden Syrup is also gorgeous. The motto you read is biblical!

Malcolm Ross

You need the sauce on a STP because that makes it!

Tony S

The Kenwood XL is a better mixer for around the same price. Its design has hardly changed since introduced in the 1950's. They have many attachments available including a Mincer, pasta roller and a potato peeler (a miniature version of the one in the chippy).

Tony S

Black Treacle is Molasses, the waste product from sugar refining, it is what Rum is distilled from, which is the best way to consume it. A great effort Alanna, Nigellas' recipes are almost idiot proof and inexact measurements don't make that much difference. I love dates but like the boxes one gets at Christmas, just mind the stones. They are not a dried fruit but that is how they ripen, looking like they have been dried. A good source of fibre. One can also use Prunes which are dried plums but not quite the same taste and they have to be pitted, messy and time consuming.

You can do it without dates, a lot of people skip on the dates. Some people even use a bit of ginger as a replacement.

David O

was going to put a comment like that Mr Smith. Can you imagine getting that past a modern branding panel? "How about we have a dead lion with flies buzzing around it and a bible quote?" But it's iconic.

David O

I think that if you start with Pru Leith's Cookery Bible you won't go far wrong with anything. Most other TV cook/chefs simply present their 'clever' alternatives to Leith's recipes, which often results in a dish that doesn't match anyone's traditional experience.

Yum!!! My friend makes a very yummy sticky toffee pudding. I just checked my Mary Berry book- there is a section on British Favourites - and it has a sticky toffee pudding recipe, might give it a go one day.

Brett Carruthers

I don't think I've ever had real authentic sticky toffee pudding. I think a lot of places serve ice cream on it. The treacle is certainly what gives it the stickyness and flavour. The butler will have to get you a stand mixer for xmas.

Andrew8468

Well done, might be the best result yet. Can we start a new drinking game? Have a shot everytime you say yum :) Tho Saturday morning might be a bit early for that

Andy McGarty

Great video. Time to book your place on next years Great British Bake Off?

The Raven

So why am I not surprised that one of the Murder Friends hosts enjoyed stabbing things? 😄

The Raven

Poking the holes and pouring over the sauce reminds me a little of the milks at the end when making a Tres Leches cake.

Andrew8468

It's a Mexican cake and the name means three milks. It's a sponge cake made with evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream.

Sticky toffee pudding is pretty awful. Have you tried spotted dick yet? Track pads in glue is a Ration pack variant of random inedible British stuff. Take care you both.
