What is it about a self saucing pudding that’s more satisfying than saucing it yourself? Is it the theatre? The unknown? What’s going on in there… is it going to ooze or not? Here’s a guaranteed winner for anyone with a sweet tooth… saucy!

1¼ cups self-raising flour
½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
100g butter, melted
½ cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
Extra 1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
⅓ cup malted milk powder
1 tblsp cornflour
1½ cups boiling water
½ cup pure cream
Ice-cream, to serve

1 Preheat oven to 180C. Combine flour and brown sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk butter, milk, egg and vanilla extract in a large jug until well combined.

2 Make a well in centre of dry ingredients. Add butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until smooth and well combined. Spoon into a 1.25 litre baking dish.

3 Combine extra sugar, malted milk powder and cornflour in a bowl. Sprinkle over batter.

4 Put boiling water in a jug and add cream. Stir to combine. Pour mixture over back of a large spoon onto pudding.

5 Bake for 45 minutes, or until a sauce forms on the bottom and cake layer is cooked through. Serve with ice-cream.
