Let me introduce you to this super deliciously easy butterscotch self saucing pudding. Trust me… it’s pretty much the queen of winter desserts. Annnnnddd… given my love of all things dessert (especially in winter), this is right up there on my ‘love list’ right now. It’s totally a thing.
So this little pud is going to take you on a little ride down memory lane. Why might you ask? Well, because there’s a fair chance that you ate it a whole lot when growing up. Yep, this easy butterscotch self saucing pudding is definitely an old fashioned classic.
Do you know what my favourite thing about this pudding is? Despite the fact that it tastes freaking delicious (of course!). It’s that it is the most budget-friendly dessert made entirely from pantry staples.

Assuming cornflour is cornstarch & golden syrup is maple syrup? Love the recipe just want everything to be right…
Hi Lynne, yes cornflour is cornstarch. Golden syrup is different from maple syrup but you can use that instead if you like! xx
Made this pudding tonight and it was a winner. It is light and fluffy and very tasty. Thanks for the recipe. Hubby says it’s to be filed under “five star recipes”!
Yay!! Yay!! I’m thrilled to hear that! xx
I love this – compared it to a butterscotch pudding I made years ago and this looks much fluffier – so will try it out – esp as it is such winter pudding weather and I love self saucing puddings.
Thank you! xx
So quick & easy! Thanks for this great recipe 🙂
Thank you!! xx
Hi Lucy. I want to make this now but have no cornflour. Can I use ordinary flour?
Hi Julie, I don’t think it would thicken enough with plain flour!
Looks yum, Could this be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven prior to serving?
I am going to someones place for dinner and would like to take this.
Hi Vicki, you could do every step except for pouring the boiling water over the top. You would need to wait until just before you pop it into the oven to do that!
