Plump, moist fruits. Airy, light pudding. Family festive flavours. Hello nostalgia, we’ve missed you.
In this Festive Steamed Pudding recipe from ex-MasterChef competitor and expert family recipe developer, Hoda Hannaway, rich holiday flavours come together in a memory-invoking symphony. It’s nostalgic, modern take on a classic dessert, and naturally gluten-free. Learn how to make it below.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried fruit mix
- ⅓ cup fruit juice or water
- 2 cups gluten-free Self Raising Flour
- 2 tsp bicarb soda
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 Tbsp psyllium husk gel *
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp mixed spice**
- Oil spray for greasing
Method
- Place the dried fruit and fruit juice in a large bowl and allow to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Cover and set aside for at least 45 minutes to allow the ingredients to activate together.
- Fold the fruit mixture through the batter. Place in a greased pudding tin (or any other tin you have available) and cover with baking paper. Place tin in a bain marie (water bath) and cover with foil. Steam in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 3-4 hours (depending on the size of the pudding).
- Serve with pouring custard.
Notes
*If you don’t have mixed spice, add ½ tsp ground ginger and ½ tsp ground caraway.
**To make the psyllium husk gel, mix ½ tsp psyllium husk with 5 tsp hot water.
