Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F and grease a baking dish with a little butter.
Sift the flour andbaking powder into a bowl and add in the sugar and salt, stirring to combine. Make a well in the center.
Add the milk, butter, vanilla extract, egg and mashed banana’s into the dry mixture.
Fold until well combined and a smooth batter has formed.
Pour the batter into your baking dish and set aside as you make the sauce.
To make the sauce, place the water, sugar and cream in a saucepan and heat on medium high.
Cook until it has reached a rolling boil, stirring to ensure the sugar has dissolved.
Carefully pour the sauce over the pudding on top of the back of a tablespoon (see note).
Place in the oven and bake for approximately 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Spoon into a serving bowl, top with some pouring cream or scoops of ice cream.

Notes

Frozen bananas used here: So this is a completely biased viewpoint, but the consistency of mashed bananas that have been frozen is smoother and works better in a pudding than fresh ones. If you have fresh on hand, absolutely use them here!

Pouring the sauce over your pudding: The best way to pour a hot sauce over your pudding is to slowly and carefully hold the back of a spoon 2 inches over the pudding and pour over the spoon. This ensures the sauce doesn't create any holes into the uncooked dough and evenly tops the pudding with the boiling water.
