Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 °F (160 to 180 °C).
2. Grease a rectangular mold (13 x 9 inches or 32 x 22 cm).
3. Prepare the dough: Sift the flour and powdered sugar. In a bowl, cream the butter with the sugar, then add the egg (if used) and vanilla. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk until a homogeneous dough is obtained.
4. In a saucepan, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar and boiling water (or cream for the creamy version).
5. Bring to a boil for a few minutes.
6. Assembly and baking: Pour the dough into the greased mold.
