Nov 28, 2013 Quick and Easy Sticky Pear and Toffee puddings Ingredients 100g softened, unsalted butter 120g light brown soft sugar 2 Conference pears, peeled, cored and finely chopped 1 medium egg, lightly beaten 60g self-raising flour 2 teaspoon icing sugar, for dusting 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for dusting Method Mix together 40g of the butter and 60g of the brown sugar then divide between 4 x 200-250ml ramekins. Top with the pears. Using a hand-held electric whisk, beat together the remaining butter and sugar in a bowl, until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the egg and mix to combine. Sift in the flour and mix until you have a smooth pudding batter. Spoon the batter into the ramekins and cook - 2 at a time - in the microwave on a 600W or 700W setting. They should take about 2½ minutes for the puddings to have risen and be cooked through. Set aside to cool for 1 minute. Dust the puddings with the icing sugar and cinnamon and serve immediately
