Top Tip for making Caramel and Pear Self-saucing Pudding

You can make the batter up to 2 hours ahead to the end of step 1, but don’t continue the recipe until you are ready to put it into the oven.This is also good made with eating apples and you could replace the hazelnuts with pecans. For a speedy accompaniment, look for prepared fresh vanilla custard on the chilled counter. Or try this pudding with premium vanilla ice cream.
