Vinegar Pudding

Delightfully old-fashioned and irresistibly comforting, Vinegar Pudding is a unique dessert that merges a soft, cake-like top with a rich, caramel-like sauce hidden beneath. Despite its intriguing name, the vinegar subtly enhances the pudding’s flavor, balancing the sweetness and adding a gentle tang that keeps you coming back for more. This simple recipe combines pantry staples like brown sugar, vanilla, and butter, along with a clever “magic” sauce made by layering boiling water over the batter before baking. Perfectly golden and bubbling out of the oven, this self-saucing pudding is best served warm, draped in its luscious sauce, and optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Easy to prepare in under an hour, Vinegar Pudding is a nostalgic treat ideal for cozy family gatherings or a sweet, crowd-pleasing finish to dinner.

Ingredients

• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 150 g Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 0.5 tsp Salt

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 300 ml Water (boiling)
• 100 g Brown sugar (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set with a bubbling sauce beneath.
