5 ml baking soda
2.5 ml salt
200 g sugar
1 large egg
30 ml apricot jam
14 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
240 ml milk

60 ml water
100 g brown sugar

5 ml vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pudding:
Preheat the oven to 180℃ (350℉). Adjust as needed, based on your oven’s characteristics.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, apricot jam, and egg until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly.
In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, and salt.
Gradually add the milk mixture and flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
Pour into a lightly greased baking dish (approximately 30x15 cm) and bake for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out with spongy crumbs.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
In a pot, combine the butter, cream, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
Simmer for 3 minutes to deepen the flavor, stirring as you go.
Poke the pudding with a fork to help the sauce penetrate, then pour the sauce over evenly.
