Ingredients
1 cup (175g) pitted dates, roughly chopped
½
tsp bicarbonate of soda
60g butter, chopped
½
cup boiling water
½
1 cups (225g) self-raising flour
Butterscotch sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp cornflour
½
cup brown sugar
Method
1. Place the dates, bicarb and butter into a bowl, pour over
until dates soften.
2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and spices into a bowl. Add the brown sugar. Make a well in the centre.
3.
Add the date mixture and the egg. Mix until combined. Grease the inner pot with canola cooking spray. Spread the batter
into the base of the pot.
4. To make butterscotch sauce: combine the maple syrup and cornflour in a jug and mix to a paste. Add remaining
ingredients and mix until combined. Pour the mixture onto the batter over the back of a spoon.
5. Close lid, select MANUAL program in PRESSURE COOKING, set time for 6 minutes. Press START.

When cooking is complete, turn pressure regulator to VENT to allow the pressure to release. Remove lid.

with a little extra maple syrup if desired. Sauce will absorb into the pudding on standing. Cover and refrigerate any
remaining portions and use within 2 days.
