Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a thick batter forms.
  4. Spoon the thick batter into your prepared baking dish, smoothing it out evenly to the edges.
  5. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter. Optionally, add a pinch of sea salt or chopped nuts.
  6. Carefully pour boiling water over the batter. Do not stir!
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
