Chmeur's Pudding Recipe

Indulge in this classic French-Canadian Chômeur Pudding, a comforting and surprisingly easy dessert! Its name, meaning "unemployed," reflects its humble, budget-friendly origins. While traditionally a simple rice pudding or jello competitor in diners, this recipe elevates it with a richer, cake-like texture thanks to the addition of milk. A touch of egg (a family secret!) adds extra richness. Be warned: this sweet treat is dangerously delicious – prepare for a sugar rush! Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking the bank.

How to Make Chmeur's Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the milk to the melted butter mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the pudding is baking, prepare the maple syrup topping. In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  9. Once the pudding is baked, immediately pour the warm maple syrup evenly over the top.
  10. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
