CHOCOLATE SELF-SAUCING PUDDING

Chocolate self-saucing pudding is an old favourite in our house and I have great memories of my Mum making it for me as a child. Although this is not her recipe(I have currently misplaced it much to my annoyance) it is very similar to this one. The photo below shows the recipe doubled.

                                                      CHOCOLATE SELF-SAUCING PUDDING

1 Cup S.R Flour
2 T Cocoa
1/2 cup Caster Sugar
1 Egg, beaten
125ml Skim Milk
1 teasp. Vanilla Essence
EXTRA, 2 T Cocoa, sifted
EXTRA, 3/4 cup caster Sugar
2 cups Boiling Water
1 T Icing Sugar, sifted.


1. Sift the flour and cocoa together. Stir in the sugar.


2. Add in the combined egg, milk and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is smooth. 
    Do not overmix. Pour into a greased 1.5 litre ovenproof dish.


3. Combine the extra cocoa, sugar and boiling water together. Stir until the 
    sugar has dissolved. Pour the sauce gently over the back of a spoon on top
    of pudding mixture.


4. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into 
    the centre of the pudding comes out clean. Serve the pudding hot, dusted 
    with sifted icing sugar.
