Pouding Chomeur (with maple syrup)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

1 1/2 C  maple syrup (don't use the beautiful, tasty, expensive clear syrup, medium works just fine)

3/4 C water

1 C sugar

2 C flour

1 C butter, softened or melted

2 tsp baking powder

1 C milk

Mix maple syrup and water, boil 5  minutes. 

Combine flour, sugar and baking soda with butter and milk.

Spread dough in a tube pan (this is the only pan with sides high enough to prevent boiling over)

Pour boiling syrup over dough. When dough floats to the top place into 350 F oven and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. (About 30 minutes in my oven).

Waiting for dough to float.

The aftermath.

Dough is floating.

YUMMY!!!!
