Malva Pudding

Ingredients

• 45 g Butter
• 30 g Apricot Jam
• 105 g White Sugar
• 1 pcs Egg
• 75 g All Purpose Flour
• 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
• 0.25 tsp Kosher Salt
• 100 ml Milk
• 1 tsp White Vinegar
• 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 80 ml Heavy Cream

Method

1. Heat the oven to medium heat and grease a small baking dish with {butter} so the pudding releases cleanly.
2. In a bowl, beat {white_sugar}, {egg}, and {apricot_jam} until pale and smooth. Fold in {all_purpose_flour}, {baking_soda}, and a pinch of {kosher_salt}. Stir together {milk}, {white_vinegar}, and {vanilla_extract}, then add to make a glossy batter.
3. Pour the batter into the dish and bake until risen, deeply golden, and springy in the center.
4. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt {butter} with {heavy_cream}, {milk}, and {white_sugar}. Stir until smooth, steaming, and lightly thickened, then take off the heat.
5. Take the hot pudding from the oven, prick it all over, then pour over the hot sauce slowly so it drinks in the richness while still warm.
6. Let the pudding stand briefly, then spoon into warm bowls and serve while soft and glossy.
