Everything here is made in a slow cooker and nothing is rushed. Cheap cuts, dried beans and whole spices go in before the day starts and come out eight hours later having done the work themselves. The lid stays on.

Ingredients
- 8 oz medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup golden syrup
Preparation
1
Pour 1 cup boiling water over the dates with the baking soda and leave 15 minutes until collapsed, then mash roughly.
2
Cream half the butter with 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour, baking powder and the date mixture.
3
Butter a heatproof basin, add the batter, and cover tightly with foil. Steam condensing off the lid straight into an open batter makes it sodden.
4
Stand the basin on a folded tea towel in the crock and pour boiling water halfway up its sides.
5
Cook on high 3 hours until a skewer comes out clean.
6
For the sauce, boil the remaining butter, brown sugar, cream and golden syrup 5 minutes until thickened and glossy.
7
Turn the pudding out, spike it all over with a skewer, and pour half the hot sauce over so it soaks in. Serve the rest alongside.
