Description

An 'upgraded' version of poor man's pudding, this tasty treat from Quebec substitutes maple syrup for brown sugar syrup. It's quick and easy.

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
2/3 cup milk

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 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.
