Frequently asked questions
How does self saucing pudding work?

Self saucing pudding forms its own sauce during baking. The boiling water poured over the batter sinks through the mixture, creating a rich sauce underneath while the sponge rises to the top.

Why is my self saucing pudding dry instead of saucy?

A dry self saucing pudding usually means it was overbaked or didn’t have enough boiling water added. To keep it saucy, measure liquids carefully and bake until the sponge is just set. Don’t overcook!

Can I make self saucing pudding in advance?

You can prepare the batter and topping ahead of time, but it’s best to bake self saucing pudding just before serving. Add the hot water and bake fresh so the sauce stays warm and gooey.

Can self saucing pudding be frozen?

Yes, you can freeze self saucing pudding, but the sauce may soak into the sponge over time. Freeze in portions and reheat gently, adding extra cream or sauce before serving if needed.
