Chomeur s Pudding

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1 cup white sugar

¼ cup margarine

1 cup milk

2 cups water

2 cups brown sugar

¼ cup margarine

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sift the flour and baking powder together in a small bowl. Beat the egg, sugar, and 1/4 cup margarine together in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the egg mixture, stirring just to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.

Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan; stir the brown sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and vanilla extract into the water and return to a boil for 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, about 45 minutes.
