Plum Pudding With Brandy Butter
This dish has been rocking out at celebrations for ages. And trust me, you’ll want to be the DJ of this delicious party!
Ingredients for the Plum Pudding:
- 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, and chopped dates)
- 1/2 cup chopped candied peel
- 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon dark molasses
Instructions for the Plum Pudding:
- First things first! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and cozy for our pudding.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed dried fruits, candied peel, and chopped almonds. Add the spices – ground cinnamon and nutmeg – to spice things up a bit!
- Sift the flour over the fruit mixture and stir in the breadcrumbs and brown sugar. Mix it all together until it’s nicely coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and dark molasses until well combined. Then, pour this mixture over your dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and all components are friends.
- Grease a pudding mold with a bit of butter, then pour in your luscious mix. Cover with parchment paper and more foil (safety first!).
- Place the mold into a deep baking dish and pour boiling water around it until it’s halfway up the sides of the mold. This is a warm bath your pudding will love!
- Bake for about 1.5 hours, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let’s let it chill out, it’ll need that after its hot tub experience!
Brandy Butter Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons brandy
Instructions for Brandy Butter:
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s fluffy and fabulous.
- Gradually mix in the brandy until well combined. Taste it (responsibly!) and see if you want more!
Once your pudding is lovingly cooled, slice it up and smother it in that delicious brandy butter. You’ve just made a dessert that’ll have everyone singing your praises! Happy cooking!
