International Sticky Toffee Pudding Day
January 23 · Level 2 · #1867 of 2238
Sticky toffee pudding is a warm British classic: a moist sponge made with dates and drenched in a glossy toffee sauce. This day is for anyone who believes a good meal deserves a sweet, gooey finale.
How it is celebrated: people bake the pudding at home, order it at pubs and cafes, and serve it hot with vanilla ice cream, custard or cream.
The chopped dates are what keep the sponge so soft and moist. Exactly where the recipe was born is still debated, and several British hotels and eateries lay claim to it.
