  • Method

  • 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and brown sugar, and stir until a smooth batter forms. Divide the batter between 4 greased Le Creuset Stoneware 380ml U Mug and 350ml London Mugs.

    In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder and brown sugar for the sauce. Sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over each mug of batter.
  • 3
    Carefully divide the boiling water between the 4 mugs by pouring over the back of a spoon, directly onto the surface of each pudding. Make sure the mugs are no more than just over halfway full, or the mixture will overflow whilst baking.

    Place mugs on a tray and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Check the puddings then bake for a further 12 minutes until risen and firm on top. Serve immediately with a spoonful of crème fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
