31 Dec 00 - 01:21 PM (#366269) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: Gervase It may be sacrilege, but you can buy tinned steamed puddings in the UK - chocolate, treacle, spotted dick...Ah, I'm coming over all gooey. Seriously though, if anyone is in dire need of a tinned steamed pud, I can always send some by post (provided your country allows the import to dubious suetty stuff in tins). Just drop me a PM. They're not the same as the real thing, of course, but still darned tasty. |

08 Jan 01 - 02:02 PM (#370981) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: GUEST,Rhona This is an old thread but I couldn't help but add my recipe for chocolate steamed pudding, done in the microwave. Tastes as good as the pot steamed one except takes ten minutes. Serve with custard....oooh! 1/2 cup milk 4ox butter 2/3 packed light brown sugar 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour 1/3 cup cocoa powder 4oz dark chocolate chips 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated Beat the butter and sugar with electric beater until light and fluffy. Add the eggs gradually, beating well after each addition. Fold in sifted flour and cocoa alternatively with the milk mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips and apple. Cover with two bits of plastic wrap. Pierce with a hole in the middle. Put in microwave for about 6-8 minutes until you can touch the middle and it springs back up.

08 Jan 01 - 06:03 PM (#371140) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: Sorcha I would like to know if mkbebenn/mrs.mkebenn tried either of the recipes I posted, and if so how was it? Worth doing? the correct recipe, etc.......?? |

08 Jan 01 - 07:07 PM (#371196) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: GUEST Sorcha, tried the steamed recipe and it worked well. Not sure if worth the effort, though. Dad liked it, but it took ALONG time. Rhona's take sounds interesting from a time standpoint. Thanks again, Sorcha . Mike Bennett PS, the Mrs made it, and coverd with hard sauce...yummy. MB. |

09 Jan 01 - 04:30 AM (#371338) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: Llanfair Dead easy pudding. Put some syrup in the bottom of a biggish basin. Make up a sponge mix according to the instructions, and put into the basin on top of the syrup. Zap in the microwave for 6-7 minutes. It will rise remarkably and absorb the syrup. It is the lightest, tastiest pudding I have ever made!!! Cheers, Bron. |

09 Jan 01 - 04:57 AM (#371339) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: Jon Freeman Bron, what do you mean by a sponge mix? A mixture you can buy in a packet - I know some cake type mixes exist and I am lazy? If so, I will try it or think I will.... Also, I wonder how it would work out with maple syrup... I was so lazy that I had to wait till xmas (with parents - and gave mum pot of maple syrup for xmas) before I sampled this simple delight. While I'm still thinking of puddings, does anyone else like an old school dinner favourite of mine, a jam rolly-polly ?sp or any other of those suet type puddings? Further thoughts, on pancakes now I have mentioned them, does anyone else enjoy savoury pancakes... again, I am lazy but my mother cooks ones I enjoy using what in the UK is called "buckwheet" - seems to make a heavier texture. I love them with a strong cheese mix inside. Jon |

09 Jan 01 - 09:16 AM (#371372) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: MMario Jon - I live in the buckwheat capital of the US. Buckwheat does make a denser pancake - because it has less gluten then wheat flour, but it sure is tasty! |

09 Jan 01 - 11:07 AM (#371439) Subject: RE: BS: Steamed Pudding From: Jon Freeman MMario, I believe you have some of the best US cheeses, maple syrup, I have heard some fine wines are produced and now buckwheat.... When can I visit NY State?... Jon |
