@arecipe.bsky.social

Sticky Toffee Pudding (STP) is a rich, dense, gooey dessert originating from the United Kingdom that can now be found across the world. Often found on a pub's menu, or in British or Commonwealth schools meals, this is a classic dessert that became popular in the 1970s. This recipe makes for a great STP, but without the dates!
