The only similarity between traditional Figgy Pudding and Sticky Toffee Pudding is that they are both British. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a moist sponge cake spiced with dates that’s baked and served with a toffee-flavored sauce. Figgy Pudding, on the other hand, is steamed and made with suet (raw beef or mutton fat), eggs, brown sugar, breadcrumbs, spices, dried fruits and sometimes brandy.
