  5. Add dry ingredients to the wet mix, and mix until combined.
  6. Add cooled date mixture to batter and fold together gently. 
  7. Lightly oil 12 115 gram oven-safe dishes and place in a baking pan.  Add water to dish reaching half way up the sides of the pudding dishes.
  8. Bake puddings in 350 degree F oven for 20- 24 minutes, turning halfway through.    
  9. Cool slightly, remove the pudding from the molds onto individual serving dishes and drizzle with the caramel sauce.
  10. To finish, whip one can of Eagle sweetened condensed milk and add a good dollop to each serving. Make sure condensed milk is chilled when whipping.

Note: This is a household favourite dessert in my home. We serve it with whipped cream, ice cream, caramel sauce and when someone important is coming over. Cheers and merry merry.
