Here’s a classic Chômeur Maple Pudding recipe—a rich, moist Canadian dessert with a sweet maple syrup sauce:
🍮 Ingredients
For the batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
For the maple sauce:
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
🍴 Instructions
1. Preheat and prepare:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
2. Make the batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Alternately mix in flour mixture and milk until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
3. Make the maple sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, cream, and butter.
- Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.
4. Pour sauce over batter:
- Pour the warm maple sauce evenly over the batter without mixing. The sauce will sink into the batter during baking.
5. Bake:
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Serve:
- Serve warm, ideally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The bottom will be soaked in sweet maple sauce for a gooey texture.
💡 Tips:
- Use real pure maple syrup for the authentic flavor.
- Do not stir sauce into batter—the pudding forms its signature syrupy layer naturally.
- Can be made ahead of time; warm slightly before serving.
