Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. This ensures smooth removal later.
- Mix 1 cup flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until completely combined.
- Pour ½ cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into your flour mixture. Stir until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Transfer the entire batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle 1 cup packed brown sugar across the surface of the batter in a uniform layer.
- Dust 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon over the brown sugar, creating a delicate, fragrant coating.
- Carefully pour 1 ½ cups hot water directly over the top of the batter without stirring. The water will create a unique sauce during baking.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, watching for a golden, bubbling surface that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert rest for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to settle and thicken.
Notes
- Grease the baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the dessert.
- Use room temperature milk and butter for smoother batter consistency and even mixing.
- When adding hot water, pour slowly and gently to create the signature self-saucing layer without disturbing the batter.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to maintain the same texture and flavor.
