Recipe video above. One batter magically transforms into a warm butterscotch pudding with PLENTY of butterscotch sauce bubbling underneath! This pudding has terrific butterscotch flavour from the dark brown sugar as well as the golden syrup (see recipe for subs).IMPORTANT: I use 15 ml tablespoon measures, if you have 20 ml ones, please read note 3 else your sauce will be too gloopy! Only cornflour matters, the other ingredients are fine whether you use 15 ml or 20 ml tablespoons.
