Classic Self-saucing Chocolate Pudding.

The winter weather is finely here in Auckland after our beautiful long summer, so I thought it would be nice to make a classic Chocolate Self-saucing pudding to warm up our tums.

Classic Self-saucing Pudding

1 1/4 cups self-raising flour

Pinch salt

1/2 cup sugar

80g butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 1/2 cups boiling water

Pre-heat oven to 180C

Sift the flour, cocoa, salt and sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl Whisk together butter, milk, egg and vanilla. Poor wet ingredients into dry, mix until you get a smooth batter. Stir in chocolate chips then poor batter into a greased dish smooth top with a spatula.

To make topping, combine the sugars and cocoa. Sprinkle the topping over batter then pour the boiling water evenly over sugar mixture.
