Maple Syrup Pudding

This is a Quebec recipe. Very simple and easy. You can add nuts if you like. The maple syrup pudding is an ‘upgraded’ version of poor man’s pudding, which uses brown sugar syrup. The maple syrup will sink to the bottom.

Original recipe makes 1 – 8 inch square pan

Ingredients

3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft and creamy, at least 10 minutes.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the maple syrup and milk. Just mix enough to moisten. Pour into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. The maple syrup will sink to the bottom, and the top should be lightly browned. Serve warm.
