I’m a little behind on my bakes this month, so I’m trying to whizz through them.  Hence these puddings. I whipped these up while dinner was cooking, potato bake (made with sliced potatoes, cream, garlic, grated tasty cheese and salt, mmmmmmm) and baked salmon (salmon covered in honey and capers,mmmmmmm).  Well anyway, while all this was going on in the oven, I ventured to whip up the puddings, multitasking not always necessarily fun but necessary all the same.  Speaking of being organised, I recently bought a book called the life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo (it’s sold 6 million copies!!)  Her method, the konmari method, is based on only keeping items in your life that “spark joy” and focusing on discarding first before you tidy or store.  I have found this book revolutionary!!!  It works.  Here’s a link to the basics.https://www.drnorthrup.com/7-tips-to-organize-your-home-using-the-konmari-method/  Now back to the bake, I melted white chocolate, no gas, so had to do it in the microwave, no worries. It sat there waiting while I
beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy.  I whisked in the eggs and folded in the flour,  then poured in the melted white chocolate.  With the melted chocolate in the mix, the raw mixture tasted delicious! I baked in four tins, probably larger than pudding tins, but they did the trick.  They came out large and round, instead of tall and cute.  I got them into the oven just as we sat down for dinner. I mixed up the dark chocolate sauce after we ate and voila, dessert!!! My nephew happened to be here and his mother came to pick him up just in time for pudding.  Lucky. 🙂  They got all cleaned up.
