Sticky toffee pudding is made from a classic cake batter with boiled dates added in. This dough is then traditionally baked in a pudding mould (bowl), not in an oven but in a saucepan, just like the Christmas pudding and many other puddings. It is served hot and topped with a caramel sauce.
In this recipe I’ll be making it in the oven, to add a touch of practicality and to not lose too much of the authenticity of the dessert.
Brandy Snaps are a popular dessert in the UK. It doesn’t require a lot of ingredients and it is not very technical but they are so good.
Having fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger makes a big difference.
I would also recommend dark chocolate compare to white chocolate because the snaps are very sweets and a darker chocolate balance well.
Adding brandy in this recipe is not a must. Brandy was supposed to come from branded that mean burned and not from the famous alcohol.
