- 3/4 cup (150g) finely chopped dried figs
- 3/4 cup (120g) finely chopped dates
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1 1/4 cups (310ml) boiling water
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 125g butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream, to serve
Butterscotch sauce
- 1 cup (220g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (250ml) thickened cream
- 50g butter, chopped
METHOD
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C 160°C fan-forced. Grease bases of eight 1-cup (250ml) moulds or ramekins. Line with baking paper. - Step 2
Combine fig, date, tea bags, boiling water and bicarbonate of soda in a large heatproof bowl. Set aside for 10 mins to soak. Discard the tea bags - Step 3
Use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add fig mixture, flour and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Spoon mixture evenly among prepared moulds or ramekins. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centres comes out clean. - Step 4
Meanwhile, to make the butterscotch sauce, combine the sugar, cream and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until the sauce thickens. Set aside to cool slightly. Transfer to a heatproof jug. - Step 5
Turn the puddings onto serving plates. Drizzle with butterscotch sauce. Serve warm with whipped cream.
