Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups vanilla almond milk
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
5 cups 1-inch cubes of day-old Brioche bread
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups pitted and halved cherries
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
  • Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
  • Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

150g frozen unsalted butter , plus extra at room temperature for the basin
120g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
120g fresh breadcrumbs
1½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
150g stem ginger in syrup, finely chopped, syrup reserved for the sauce
2 large eggs , lightly beaten
100g light brown soft sugar
250g black treacle
100ml milk
extra-thick double cream or vanilla ice cream, to serve
120ml syrup from a 350g jar stem ginger
70ml spiced rum
30g salted butter
4 tbsp double cream

Steps:

  • Butter a 1.2-litre pudding basin, then press a disc of baking parchment into the base. Heat 4cm water in a heavy-based pan and add a trivet or upturned bowl or saucer to the base.
  • Sieve the flour, baking powder and bicarb into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, ginger, allspice, cinnamon and ½ tsp fine salt and stir everything together. Wrap the end of the frozen butter in foil and, holding it by the foil end, coarsely grate the butter into the dry ingredients. Unwrap and discard the foil to grate the last piece. Fold everything together so the butter is evenly distributed. Mix in the stem ginger, eggs, treacle, sugar and milk. Spoon into the pudding basin, leaving a small gap for the sponge to rise, and cover with a disc of parchment. Seal the pudding basin with a tight-fitting lid or a double layer of foil, sealed tightly around the basin and tied with cook's string. Set on top of the trivet, cover with a lid and steam for 3 hrs, topping up with water so it doesn't boil dry.
  • Pour the syrup into a shallow frying pan, bring to the boil and cook until the syrup is turning a deep golden brown. Quickly whisk in the rum and butter, then whisk in the cream and bubble for 2 mins. Gently tip the sponge pudding out of its basin and onto a serving plate. Pour over the rum sauce and serve with thick cream or vanilla ice cream, if you like.

GINGER CHERRY STEAMED PUDDING WITH SHERRY HARD SAUCE



Ginger Cherry Steamed Pudding With Sherry Hard Sauce image

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried cherries
3/4 cup golden raisins
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sherry

Steps:

  • For the pudding, butter a 2-quart souffle dish with a tightly fitting lid. Have ready a pot with a lid, large enough to hold the covered souffle dish and a rack that will fit in the bottom of the pot to allow water to circulate freely under the dish. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile place the butter and the brown sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the eggs. Gradually whisk in the molasses and the milk. Stir together the flour, ginger, soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the liquid. Stir in the cherries and raisins. Scrape the batter into the buttered dish and smooth the top.
  • Place the rack in the bottom of the pot. Cover the souffle dish and place it in the pot. Pour in enough of the boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish. Cover the pot. Check occasionally to make sure there is enough water and that it is simmering; add boiling water to the pot if necessary. Steam the pudding until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile to make the hard sauce, stir together the butter, sugar and salt until smooth. Slowly stir in the sherry. Chill, but do not allow to become too firm. Carefully remove the pudding from the pot and place on a rack. Uncover and let stand for 10 minutes. Use a small, sharp knife to loosen the pudding from the sides of the dish and unmold. Cut into wedges and serve warm with the hard sauce.

GRAMMY BILLINGS STEAMED CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH SHERRY SAUCE



Grammy Billings Steamed Christmas Pudding With Sherry Sauce image

This recipe goes back for many, many years. Grammy made this every Christmas and everyone loved it. It is easy to make as it doesn't have a lot of strange ingredients. It is served with a Sherry Sauce that is out of this world. It makes the pudding. FUNNY STORY---Our family does not drink anything with alcohol in it. My grammy was a stickler for this, but when it came to her hard sauce for the pudding, she reached for the bottle of sherry. When grammy needed a new bottle (which wasn't very often) she would go down to the "package store" (this what they called them then) and when she got near the store she would walk a little slower. After looking every way, to make sure that no one saw her, she would pop into the store to buy the sherry. Then she would do the same thing when she came out. She would rather have died than someone see her in a "package store". At any rate, everyone loved her Christmas Pudding and Sherry Sauce. She always made it with suet but I guess it could be made with any fat---butter, crisco, etc. I have hesitated to post this because of the fact that we don't drink, but we do like this and I wanted to save it with all my other recipes for my kids. I hope you will enjoy it, too.

Provided by Gingerbee

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
2/3 cup butter, soft
2 cups icing sugar
1 1/2 cups 35% cream
1/2 ounce rum or 1/2 ounce cognac

  • Add melted chocolate.
  • Pour into greased pudding mold.
  • Steam in simmering water for 2 1/2 hours.
  • This can be done by filling a large casserole with water, enough to go 1/2 height of the mold.

Tips:

  • To create a smooth and silky texture, sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the mixture.
  • Make sure to grease and flour the pudding basin thoroughly to prevent the pudding from sticking.
  • Cover the pudding basin tightly with foil or a lid to create a steam-tight seal. This will help the pudding to cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Steam the pudding for the full amount of time indicated in the recipe. Undercooked pudding will be dense and stodgy, while overcooked pudding will be dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the pudding to cool slightly before turning it out onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • Serve the pudding warm with your favorite sauce, such as sherry hard sauce, custard, or ice cream.
