Pudding Chomeur Recipes

POUDING CHOMEUR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a deep baking dish and place it on a sheet pan.
• Bring maple syrup and heavy cream to a boil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off heat once mixture starts to bubble, stir, and set aside.
• Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using a spatula or electric mixer until creamy and well combined. Whisk in vanilla extract and 1 egg until incorporated. Mix in the other egg. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix with a spatula until batter is just combined.
• Transfer batter to the prepared dish and pour the maple-cream sauce on top, stopping between 1/2 to 1-inch from the top of the dish. Reserve any extra sauce.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; serve pudding with any extra maple-cream sauce.

POUDING CHôMEUR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Put the maple syrup, cream and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute, then pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Meanwhile, beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs, then beat again on medium-high speed until smooth. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then beat on medium speed until just combined and no lumps remain.
• Dollop the cake batter on top of the maple sauce in an even layer. It's okay if some of the sauce is still visible once all the batter has been added.
• Bake until the sauce is slowly bubbling at the edges, the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 24 to 27 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm, sauce-side up, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries if using.

CHOMEUR'S PUDDING

• Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan; stir the brown sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and vanilla extract into the water and return to a boil for 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, about 45 minutes.
