Gallery: Behind the Scenes: Sticky Toffee Pudding at John Dory Oyster Bar, NYC

A classic British dessert that's perfect for warming up a dreary day.

These dates will get soaked to soften before they are pureed into a pudding-worthy mush.

The pudding-worthy mush of pureed dates.

Butter and sugar. Where all good things begin.

Flour, baking powder, and baking soda are sifted before getting incorporated with the butter and sugar.

In go the eggs!

Add a heaping dash of vanilla and your batter is ready to go!

The batter goes into individually portioned ramekins...

...which are sealed nice and tight.

Once the cakes/puddings are done baking, they get ladled with a warm toffee sauce made from cream, brown sugar, and goldyn syrup

A thorough poking ensures that the maximum amount of warm, sticky toffee seeps into the cake.

JDOB's sticky toffee pudding is extra special thanks to an irresistible earl grey-infused whipped cream topping, which starts with (you guessed it) earl grey infused heavy cream.

Once the cream is thoroughly tea-ified it gets whipped until stiff with some creme fraiche.

And that's it! You are now fully prepared to impress all of your British friends with your toffee pudding know-how.
