Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

Pudding:

½ cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 ⅓ cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup superfine sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon apricot jelly

Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup water, orange juice, or sherry

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart oven-proof baking dish.
Heat milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until butter melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
Meanwhile, sift flour, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl; set aside.
Beat 1 cup superfine sugar and eggs together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy and light colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in apricot jam. Fold flour mixture into egg mixture alternately with warmed milk mixture using a spatula. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Heat heavy cream, remaining 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melted and sugar dissolved. Do not allow mixture to boil.
Remove pudding from the oven; pierce several times with a skewer or fork. Immediately pour hot cream mixture over pudding. Serve hot or cold.
