    As a Brit, I was pleasantly surprised how authentic this recipe and method are, right down to soaking the dates, adding the rum and the Bain Marie. Steamed puddings are a glorious English grey-days-of-winter tradition. We always have sticky toffee pudding with a fat dollop of extra thick double cream but my experience of USA creams is they are not the same and you are right to go with the pouring custard/creme anglaise. I couldn't believe it when she said at the start you could have two and he upped it three! I couldn't tell if they were joking! That's why we British love you Americans so much!!!

It has boasted my confidence in the kitchen. Today I'll make the sticky pudding. All this has been made possible because of the way you give step by step instructions and how you interact with each other, you are all great chefs yet you ask questions for the viewers as if you are learning as well. Hats off to you all and your professionalism, love and passion. Thank you ATK family.

    Made this yesterday. This was absolutely the BEST Sticky Toffee Pudding I have ever had. I also had several notable chef ones at their restaurants and this one is perfect. It didn't feel overly sugary and I felt I could easily eat 2-3. I thought I'd hate the chopped dates throughout as I'm used to blending it all entirely...but wow. The texture element made it for me. The dates were soft and pleasant, and the cakes beautifully leaveaned by the baking powder. It didn't feel like a sugar explosion in my mouth at 2AM. Thank you all for your amazing content!

    Absolutely. I cover mine in plastic wrap after theyve soaked in caramel and been demolded, reheat in microwave, pour on the caramel some more and creme anglaise...serve. When you do the 5 minute soak doesnt matter at all...but why not do it sooner and save time during serving? Hence why I do mine before and in the fridge they go.

    This is too sweet for me but it looks yummy as H - E double Toothpicks. To cut down on sugar content of the dates, soak them in room temperature water for 24-36 hours. Pour off he sweet slurry and mash up the dates. This is the perfect sweetener and you have removed about 1/2 that sugar.

    From the UK - You have to be either joking or a huge snob to call it creme anglaise and not custard, however some people do make the distinction that creme anglaise is thinner and made authentically with fresh eggs etc. while custard is usually Bird's Custard, bright yellow made from starch powder. It's been on sale since the 1830s! It's what everyone's mum served them as children.

I throw a healthy amount of heavy cream over mine, not custard or creme englase as he put it. Also we have Golden Syrup pudding too, lashing of Golden syrup on a boiled sponge pudding that one you do have with custard. oh I'm drooling thinking of it. I have a very sweet set of teeth, top set & bottom. As a footnote the term pudding originaly meant animal ofal, like what blood sausage is & i supose haggis. I guess it became the term for dessert because of steamed puddings which were cooked the same way ofal was & why we Brits call cake like things pudding.
