Love it. Sticky date pudding in Australia, using the cheapest dry dates available and blend it all with a hand mixer. Using a bundt tin, when cooked you put holes in the bottom and pour the sauce into it to soak in. Amazingly simple and good.
Grew up having home made fruit cake. I still make them. We always had mince meat pies aa couple times a year. Dad's favorite, right above black raspberry and apple. We had hundreds of feet of berry canes, well trimmed and pruned, and an apple orchard of mixed varieties. Apples from June- summer transparent to late fall Winesap, with lots in between. Up in an apple tree with smooth bark and no spurs, was a great place to hang out with a book.
I like your style of cooking where your a lil bit rough n ready and you just throw stuff together barely measuring and when you do its generous. Your sticky pudd looks delish all the same so, I'm gonna give it a go. Thank you 👍🏼😋😊
Isn't the British version usually steamed rather than baked? By the way I like the idea of the date cake being the origin - I do a date cake but with sticky toffee sauce, using a few tbsp of it as a drizzle while the cake is warm (prick some holes in and pour over) and the rest to serve - WITH cream which cuts through the sweetness without adding hardly any calories at all.....
Nice. I looove sticky toffee pud! I like to make it with just little chunks of black toffee hidden inside as little texture and flavour bombs. You can also make a lava cake version.
Being a Brit with a very sweet tooth STP is one of my favourite things to make and eat and your recipe was very close to the one I use. Personally I would chop the dates very fine, soak them in way more water than you did and finally blitz everything together with a stick blender and then while making the cake batter I wouldn't add milk and instead the extra water from the date mix would loosen the batter up. It should be so runny that you cannot use a spring loaded tin because the batter seeps through the cracks. Cook it at 150°c instead of the usual 160 until it's just cooked through. One last thing is we would ALWAYS use double/heavy cream in the sauce, many recipes call for Golden Syrup and soft brown sugar in the sauce instead of Treacle as a molasses flavoured cake and sauce is a little to much however I believe you generally can't get Golden Syrup in North America, at least not easily. The fat in the cream and butter combined with the syrup should make a sauce that sets to a soft caramel when refrigerated. You're supposed to serve it *BOILING* hot with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream on the top, never leave STP to cool. My mum likes to add her ice cream first then pour the boiling toffee sauce over it.
Super that you're a historian as well! Love the history/culture aspect of the show - this channel has it all😎👍👍 Never made puddings before and you break it down so nicely; will be giving it a go! Thank you very much!
Happy family gathering and happy new year for both of you. I loved the recipe and I thought of it as a sweet over sweet, i will definitely give it a try, and i will definitely use some winter spices like cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg with either to break through the richness and sweetness.
You are very right about the treacle. Living in Wisconsin, you *cannot* find treacle. You are lucky if you find golden syrup. I would definitely have to use molasses. Unless I wanted to drive more than two hours to the Twin Cities and drive around both cities and every grocery store to try to find it.
Love molasses. Butter and molasses on biscuits or peanut butter and molasses sandwiches. It's great to sneak into things like BBQ sauce or any sweet and smokey sauce for meat.
Hi Glen and Julie, a Brit here! 🇬🇧 Nice job! 👍😃 However, you do need to serve that with single cream or custard! 😉 This is not optional.... 😏 And not posh, homemade custard, but custard from a tin or made from powder! 😁 Preferably Birds Custard! 😃 Do you have that in Canada-Land?? 😁 Also - noooooo such thing as ‘too sweet’!!! 😆XXX
Grandma made sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce from a recipe handed down by her great grandmother and we loved it way back in Uk in the 1950's. She varied the recipe for time to time and put whisky in for the adults. She used Molasses not treacle and buttermilk instead of milk. the sauce was made with caramelised sugar and very sweet condensed milk.
Loved that first shot, gave the video a relaxed feel which is very different from the norm on youtube these days (I can't really say anything on that though as I join in on the loud intro bandwagon). I've never heard that story about the origin of sticky toffee pudding, really interesting! It has to be one of my favourite desserts, even bad sticky toffee puddings taste good so it's always a safe bet at a restaurant! 😁
Hi Glen, I know this was a while ago but the way the sweetness is often cut when it's served in England is serving with both the sauce and a separate pouring of double cream
Interesting history. I make the Ina Garten date cake and it’s light and not overly sweet. I only use 1/4 of the sauce though. Looking forward to trying this out since I have molassas that I don’t know what to use for.
I don't know about original, but as far as the most awesome tasting version, The Olive Tree Bistro in South Melbourne, Australia makes one that you'll never forget. They call theirs "sticky date pudding" which I always thought prophetic.
That pudding is very popular in Australia too where it is know as sticky date pudding, I make it regularly. I found that Medjool dates do not have enough flavour for the pudding and regular dried dates are better. Medjool dates are by far the best to eat as a snack though. I have tried using middle eastern date molasses or date honey which gives a nice rich flavour too in which case I cut back on the sugar. In addition I have actually made the pudding with pineapple instead of dates for the family and it was a big hit. Sticky pineapple pudding mmmm.
Granted I am playing catch up having just discovered this channel but for presentation purposes I'd use baby bundt pans and pour a ration of the sauce in the middle like a lava cake.
the recipe for the cake i use is French! it contains butter brown sugar golden syrup treacle eggs plain flour baking powder for the dates, its the same as what you did but i drain it and blend 75% and the rest leave it chunky! for the sauce, i removed the brown sugar and used palm sugar instead cream butter palm sugar treacle golden syrup if you're interested to try my recipe, just reply here!
How about trying it as a Poke Cake. Take the handle of a wooden spoon or use a dowel and poke holes in the cake as soon as you take it out of the oven and then pour the toffee syrup all over it 😉😋
Looks good, though I'd call that sticky toffee cake, as would a lot of Brits I think. The pudding element in the name should mean that it's steamed not baked, or at least that's my expectation of a 'pudding'.
Happy New Year 2019 to you and Jools! (Sorry if I spelt her name incorrectly) When will you come back? I'm looking forward to seeing your sourdough breads and more baking videos.
I don't understand the words "too sweet" and I think it is gonna need a little salt for my taste. I know a restaurant that serves this but also includes a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream and covers it all with whipped cream. I can never fully enjoy my dinner there because my mind is already having this desert.
In the America's Test Kitchen recipe, they add rum to the sauce, to "add flavor". I took that to mean that there is really not a lot of flavor because the cloying sweetness kills it all. I didn't have rum on hand so I just used vanilla. It was good, but I have to admit I had to really concentrate to taste the date, toffee, buttery flavors of the cake behind the icky, overpowering sweetness. And it was supposed to be a less sweet, reduced sugar recipe. And I don't necessarily use cheap ingredients, either. And I've heard some say this might be the "greatest" dessert, ever. Haha, that's adorable, but have they not heard of the French? And the Italians? Oh, I love Italian desserts. Also, German and Scandinavian desserts and sweets, flavorful and delicious but never overly sweet.
Now I know why companies are still making fruit cake. He eats so much, they don't think it could possibly be from just one person. This is the first time I've heard someone say they love fruit cake.
Ryyyyyye whisky, rye whisky, rye whisky, I cried - if the whisky don't kill me, I'll live til I die! If the ocean were whisky and I were a duck, I'd dive to the bottom, and never come up!
@@moonovermiami9787 Yes - you could cut the sugar in the cake recipe by about half, but if you take out more than that you'll have trouble with the texture of the cake. In the end the cake isn't too too sweet, only when I put the sauce on.
Wonder why you don't make it in a water bath, like Christmas pudding? This seems easier to obtain inbred than our Christmas pudding. It takes suet, and groceries in the U.S. Don't carry it like they used to.

Hey Glen, great channel. Really liking the production, recipes and honest feedback at the end :) keep it up!
@@MrJimYves Thank You! Glad you are enjoying it.
It's nice to eat and decadent with pouring cream added. It also just cuts down the sweetness in the sauce ever so slightly.
My goal is to have a house with two kittens, so two teams of cooks could be busy during the holidays! 🤩
Here in the UK when I serve STP I have the sweet sauce and double cream. The mixture is truly incredible and takes away some of the sweetness.
Love warm custard with STP. Delicious. Cut back on sugar in custard.
Love it. Sticky date pudding in Australia, using the cheapest dry dates available and blend it all with a hand mixer. Using a bundt tin, when cooked you put holes in the bottom and pour the sauce into it to soak in. Amazingly simple and good.

Cream after the sauce cuts through the sweetness nicely

Amazing fact: Snow was invented, in Toronto, in 1937, by Swedish immigrant Torben Flurs!

Thanks for the honest review, i too am not fan of over the top sweet desserts. I will definitely try this recipe with little less sugar in it ✔️

I know that I am being repetitive, but Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye Whiskey is fantastic. Thanks for another great recipe video..
So if you're serving the next day, do you briefly heat the sauce? And is the sauce (and/or the puddings, I guess) stored in the fridge?
If I ever see Sticky Toffee pudding on a menu I will order it without a second thought. I can’t help myself
Happy family gathering and happy new year for both of you.

Hi neighbor! I'm in Chicago 😊 You can get either of those hard to find ingredients online & have them delivered to your door.
Love molasses. Butter and molasses on biscuits or peanut butter and molasses sandwiches. It's great to sneak into things like BBQ sauce or any sweet and smokey sauce for meat.
So good 😊 many thanks for the great Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe👌❤️wish you and Julie a Blessed Holidays and a Happy New Year 😇🧚♀️🎄🙋🏻♀️🌷🌿💝
Thank you very much - A very Happy New Year to you and your family as well.
I wonder if you could use cinnamon whisky. Or would that get a burnt flavor. Maybe spiced rum?

Yes we have birds custard

Thank You! We'll be doing some recipes from the 1930's rural Canada next week - that may be the origin of sticky toffee pudding.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking That sounds really interesting, I'll keep an eye out for it!
Can you tell me what the Measuring Cup you use is Called/Made by and where you got it?
A nice serving suggestion is to pair it with mint ice cream!
My mom makes this for the holidays, though she serves Bird's custard with it.
Maybe add a bit of salt to the sauce for balance?
Making the full recipe, do the extras (including the sauce) refrigerate and/or freeze well?
Hi! Love your content! Always amazed with the quality of your videos. Would love to see a Swedish Kanelbullar in your channel. Happy New Year!
Kanelbullar look awesome! I think we'll give that try. Happy New Year to you as well.
Hi Glen, I know this was a while ago but the way the sweetness is often cut when it's served in England is serving with both the sauce and a separate pouring of double cream
I have never seen anyone like dates as much as Glen
Definitely saving this for later!
Is fancy molasses in Canada the same as Grandmas in the USA?
Just did a QA test on the batch I'm sharing for Christmas and think I need to make a second batch to be safe.
Interesting history. I make the Ina Garten date cake and it’s light and not overly sweet. I only use 1/4 of the sauce though. Looking forward to trying this out since I have molassas that I don’t know what to use for.
Glen is just a little 'over-senstitive' when it comes to sweet desserts... julie says it's just right.
I don't know about original, but as far as the most awesome tasting version, The Olive Tree Bistro in South Melbourne, Australia makes one that you'll never forget. They call theirs "sticky date pudding" which I always thought prophetic.
With clotted cream, this is the best pudding in the world. As for origin, I was sure it was/is traditionally from Scotland.

Treacle and molasis are both byproducts of sugar they are very similar but in the UK treacle is more common
Looks great! And btw the lovely lady reminds me of Jennifer Garner :D
the recipe for the cake i use is French! it contains
butter
brown sugar
golden syrup
treacle
eggs
plain flour
baking powder
for the dates, its the same as what you did but i drain it and blend 75% and the rest leave it chunky!
for the sauce, i removed the brown sugar and used palm sugar instead
cream
butter
palm sugar
treacle
golden syrup
if you're interested to try my recipe, just reply here!

Pudding can mean any sweet dish or dessert course to Brits.
Julie: Maybe you should have tried it without the sauce.
Glen: replies
Julie: More sauce for me.
Glen: rolls right on.
I was always taught to crack each egg into a separate bowl before adding into the butter and sugar so as to avoid a bad egg getting into the batter.
Happy New Year 2019 to you and Jools! (Sorry if I spelt her name incorrectly)
When will you come back? I'm looking forward to seeing your sourdough breads and more baking videos.
Happy New Year to you as well! We'll be back later this week with new videos.
Sea salt on top would be beautiful
Love hearing the backstory, definitely tastes like home to me! (I'm English)
Glen, I doubt you'll see this, but if you do, I'd love it if you'd make banoffee pie....
Please, make a self-saucing version of sticky toffee pudding! I have been binging your videos for the past four days. I can't get enough!
The real question is can I get the name of that kettle?
mincemeat?... maybe?

Could you please teach us the Date Cake recipe that your good Grandmother used to make? 😊 💐
Yes - The video for that will be next week.
Thanks a million Sit 🙋🏻♀️🙏🌷🌿💝
*Sir 🙏🙋🏻♀️🌷🌿💝
I like...I would have poured the whiskey into the measuring cup to further clean it out.
I love your videos. Would there be a possibility of you showing us recipes from the amazing show, Downton Abbey?

Maybe it was inspired by pudding chômeur?
👏😀
Ryyyyyye whisky, rye whisky,

I'll live til I die!
If the ocean were whisky and I were a duck, I'd dive to the bottom,
and
never
come
up!
I love you glen
Delia Smith has a nice recipe for this.
British
Nah it originates in Papua New Guinea, ofcourse it's British. Funnily enough he mentions the date cake, which also has British origins.
Many Sticky Toffee recipes add spices, such as nutmeg, mixed spice....why don't you add spices....I think it takes away a bit of the sweetness
Eliminate the sugar in recipe since sauce and dates are sweet.
Unfortunately if you eliminate the sugar in the sauce recipe - it won't thicken.
Typo in my original comment. Meant eliminate sugar in muffin/cake. Sorry for typo.
@@moonovermiami9787 Yes - you could cut the sugar in the cake recipe by about half, but if you take out more than that you'll have trouble with the texture of the cake. In the end the cake isn't too too sweet, only when I put the sauce on.

NOT sticky toffee pudding, it's date cake with caramel sauce!
Why?
@@catieberg2376 Because it wasn’t steamed.
No it's a sticky toffee pudding, where it has complete different ingredients to the Canadian version. I wonder where the date cake originates from?
Wheres the feckin custard ????
*clicks video*
Me: say it..say it..
Glen: hello friends
Me: HE SAID IT *jumps around*
