Pouding Chômeur
Pouding chômeur ("unemployed man's pudding", often translated idiomatically as "poor man's pudding") is a dessert that was created during the early years of the Great Depression in Quebec, Canada. It typically involves a bread pudding covered in a mixture with a syrup, usually maple syrup and cream. Today, it is casually served as a regional dessert, perhaps being a bit more popular during the ''saison des sucres'', when maple sap is collected and processed and is usually part of the offerings during a meal at a sugar shack, but it is not specifically a maple dessert. In Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the United Kingdom, a similar dessert known as " self saucing pudding" (or often just called pudding) exists, although it is now more commonly sold in baking mix packages alongside other cakes, rather than being prepared at home. Description The ''pouding chômeur'' is a basic cake batter onto which a hot syrup, typically maple or caramel is poured before baking. The cake ...
