Thanks for the video. I fell in love with sticky toffee pudding when I lived in Aberdeen for a year. BTW, black treacle is actually molasses (plain, not blackstrap) in the United States. Blackstrap molasses is much more bitter and not nearly as sweet. In the home, it is used more medicinally than culinarily.

[@Ed19601]

Made it, tasted great. I had to improvise a bit as it is pretty difficult to find Molasses here (netherlands) and if one finds it, it is usually Cane Molasses rather than Blackstrap Molasses, so I made a mix of honey, maple syrup, and gula djawa. Maybe not ideal and a bit sweeter but still a great result. Maple syrup by the way was home made (i had a maple tree). Thanks for the great recipe John. I ordered some blackstrap molasses on line and will try again

[@frauleintrude6347]

Bietenstroop? Works just fine. It is not made from sugar cane but it is really tasty, maybe a little bit different. I always use it whenever a recipe calls for black molasses.

[@barrymillar2143]

Well what can I say John. Another absolute gem thank you. Sir. And I followed your instructions today from the new book of yours ( early Xmas present ) I was allowed access to. One of the 3 books. And choose this one. Smashing. 100% foolproof instructions. Even for me and tasted amazing as have all the others I tried. Think I may need a gym membership. If I carry on like this.

I️ have looked at many sticky toffee pudding recipes this past week trying to find one I️ liked and yours just sat well with me. I️ have a question though.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Desiree, For 20 people I would make three separate ones, you'll only get about eight portions out of one loaf, also you would need to multiply the sauce I make in video by at least six for that many people, thanks for watching much appreciated.

I read that the original recipe was given to the UK , by 2 Canadian soldiers durning World War 2!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Interesting Billy. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@suecox2308]

New subscriber here--this dessert looks delicious. How long has it been popular in the UK? I don't remember it at all as a child there in the 60s.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Sue, much appreciated. It mostly served in restaurants around the seventies. Please like share and subscribe for more great video recipes.

I just watched a Canadian cook claiming it a Canada original brought to England by soldiers during WWII. Their host wanted to give them a taste of home. She came very close to what old Canadian cookbooks called date cakes. They even mention serving with a hard sauce.

[@longschlongsilver7628]

How many would you reckon this serves? I'm going to be serving this to a good number of people come Sunday, and I don't want to overdo it or bake too little when I'm adjusting the ingredient sizes.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Around 5/6 portions. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Farmhouse sandwich loaf profoodhomemade.com/farmhouse-sandwich-loaf/

Can you use medjool dates in this recipe John?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Yes, Medjool dates are a fantastic ingredient to use in sticky toffee pudding, adding a rich, natural sweetness and a wonderfully soft texture to the dessert.

Hi John, just found your channel, amazing! I've even ordered the cook book and a couple of other things so thank you. Just one query, your teaspoon measures seem rather large, I use a measure and the half teaspoon is the tiniest little bit compared to yours?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for that Michelle, much appreciated. This is why all of my latest recipes I'm suggesting weighing every thing, l didn't realise the tsp, tbls, cups, measuring jugs, etc, can vary so much across the world. Just make your best guess in this recipe, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I have a bag of pastry flour that is going unused. Would this be a good recipe to substitute the pastry flour for the all purpose?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

You need plain or all purpose flour. Thanks for watching, happy new year my friend.

[@DrGlynnWix]

For any Americans in your audience, I'd say that is probably what we call cane sugar or raw sugar in the States rather than brown sugar, which is typically much stickier and darker looking than what you've used because it contains a lot more molasses.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for the info Natalie, very helpful, and thanks again for watching.

[@DrGlynnWix]

You're welcome! I enjoy seeing your classic British dishes.

[@fortheloveofchocolat]

OH I learned something new! Treacle = Molasses

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

[@margaretcorienedwards2807]

First, Happy Christmas from the US. At this season, Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carole, speaks of plum pudding. Could you consider this? Always thought I would like to try it. Seeing how you used dates, I wonder if it is similar to your Sticky Toffee Pudding?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

One of my favourite passages from A Christmas Carol is " Come and listen to the pudding singing in the copper Peter" 👍😃😉 I'll look into in the new year Steven. All the best to you and yours too my friend 🤶😃👍😉🎅

[@edgarscicluna8892]

[@marymauldin3229]

If you don't like dates would you still say I might enjoy this desert?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Dates are the main ingredient in this recipe Mary.

[@user-rr3ol1fu5z]

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]
