Cooktop Cove: We call it 'Amish Family Favorite Hug' – it’s warm, sweet, and unforgettable!
By Holly Owens
This slow cooker Amish honey butter pudding is a delightful treat that brings a touch of rustic comfort to your kitchen. Inspired by traditional Amish recipes, this pudding is all about simplicity and rich, buttery flavors. It's perfect for those who love a sweet, comforting dessert that doesn't require a lot of fuss. The slow cooker does all the work, making it ideal for busy weekdays or a lazy weekend afternoon. Plus, there's something so satisfying about coming home to the warm, inviting aroma of this pudding.
This pudding is wonderfully versatile and pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a bit of contrast, try serving it with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce. If you're feeling indulgent, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top can add a lovely aromatic touch. It's also a great dessert to bring to a potluck or family gathering, as it complements a variety of main dishes, from hearty roasts to lighter fare.
Slow Cooker Amish Honey Butter Pudding
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 cup honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the salt, flour, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a nutty twist, try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter. You can also experiment with different types of honey for subtle flavor variations—wildflower honey adds a floral note, while clover honey is more traditional. If you prefer a spicier pudding, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or ginger to the dry ingredients. For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter alternative.
