Sheila,
Welcome to the site, I haven’t heard of that I’m afraid, but I do know about pouring the sauce over the pudding. Hopefully somebody will pick up on this and leave a comment.
I’ll email you if they do.
Kind regards

Williams and Sonoma used to see a Sticky Toffee Pudding Mix from a company in the Lake District. I remember steaming it on top of the stove, not in the oven, and the toffee sauce was poured over it for the last 10 or 15 minutes of steaming, which produced the very best, moistest dessert I have ever eaten. Since then, they have dropped it due to low sales, and I have been searching and searching since for a recipe like that. Does anyone have any idea where I can find one? I’d really love to make this next Christmas.

Thanks,
Sheila

Cam,
Welcome to the site, that’s a very good point and I appreciate you bringing it up. I’ll look into that and when I can shall write the American name for it.
I don’t know if these are used in the US but here’s some alternatives that I know of:

caster sugar-superfine sugar
treacle-known as West Indian-a blend of refinery syrup and cane molasses
double cream-heavy cream??
demerera-light brown sugar

Hope this helps
Kind regards

Ingredients that most Americans aren’t familiar with and can’t buy at the local grocery store:
Caster sugar
Demerara sugar
Double cream
Black treacle

I’m off to find my British English-American English translator to see if these items go by other names… will follow up if I find some answers!

Thanks!

Phillip,
the recipe listed states serving 6
I’m no chef but . . .
If I wanted to serve 30 I would multiply all the amounts listed by 5 !
