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.

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.

Ingredients for Chmeur S Pudding

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Margarine
  • Sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Boiling Water

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!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
