Steps:
- Grease and line a 1 litre pudding basin with baking paper.
- Add the dried fruits and brandy to a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Add the three flours to a mixing bowl and mix with a whisk to ensure they are well combined. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the soaked fruits, sugar, breadcrumbs and spice. Mix well to combine.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and milk. Add to the fruit mixture and mix to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the pudding basin. Place the pudding basin in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to the pot to come 3/4 of the way up the side of the pudding basin.
- Bring the water to the boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook the pudding for 2 to 3 hours. Check the water regularly to ensure it does not run dry.
- If making ahead, the pudding may be resteamed for 1 hour on the day of serving. I've generally found also that a cook ahead pudding can be sliced and individual serves warmed in the microwave.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the currants, raisins, candied peel, glacé cherries, mixed spice, nutmeg, orange zest and juice, the lemon zest and brandy together. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to soak overnight.
- The next day, put an upturned saucer or trivet in the bottom of a deep, wide saucepan and half-fill the pan with water. Bring to a simmer over a low-medium heat. Oil a 1.5-litre pudding basin and line the base with a circle of baking parchment.
- Stir the flaked almonds, apple, ground almonds, baking powder, flour, breadcrumbs, sugar and eggs into the bowl of dried fruit using a wooden spoon. Tip the mixture into the prepared basin, packing it in with the back of the spoon, then cover the surface with another circle of parchment. Cover the basin with sheet of baking parchment, followed by a double layer of foil, then secure it around the rim with kitchen string. Tie on a loop of string to make a handle. Carefully lower the basin onto the upturned saucer in the pan of simmering water and cover with a lid. Cook for 6 hrs, topping up with boiling water from the kettle if needed to ensure the water doesn't boil off below the halfway line.
- Once the pudding is cooked, remove the basin from the pan and leave to cool completely. Remove the pudding from the basin, wrap well in baking parchment and foil and store in a cool, dark place for up to three months. To reheat, return the pudding to its basin, cover as before and lower into a pan of simmering water. Cover and warm through for 1-2 hrs, then remove and serve with brandy cream.

Tips:
- Use gluten-free flour: Make sure to use a gluten-free flour blend that is specifically designed for baking. This will ensure that your pudding is light and fluffy, and not dense and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan will give the pudding a classic shape and help it to cook evenly.
- Steam the pudding: Steaming the pudding is the traditional method of cooking it. This helps to keep the pudding moist and prevents it from drying out.
- Serve with your favorite sauce: Christmas pudding is traditionally served with a hard sauce or brandy butter. You can also serve it with ice cream, whipped cream, or custard.
Conclusion:
Gluten-free Christmas pudding is a delicious and festive dessert that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a gluten-free Christmas pudding that is just as good as the traditional version. So get creative in the kitchen and experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique gluten-free Christmas pudding recipe.
