    These are the best sticky date puddings you will ever make! I don't say that lightly.

    We are in the middle of the coldest day here in Australia all year and it now officially feels like winter is here. I secretly love the the cooler weather but today is a bit much.

    However, it does give me the excuse to make these sticky date puddings and curl up with a blanket to watch The Sound of Music that is on The Shows Must Go On YouTube channel.

    Has anyone else been waiting all week for these shows to come out over the weekend?

    These puddings couldn't simpler to make, the key is to ensure your dates are boiled until they are mushy to ensure they break down throughout the puddings and that you do use wholemeal flour.

    Trust me, the flour gives these more flavour. However, you don't have any of the flour on hand, regular flour will work.
