Tips:
- If you want a smooth carrot pudding, make sure to grate the carrots finely. You can use a food processor fitted with a grater attachment to make this process easier.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make the pudding light and airy.
- If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of all-purpose flour.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pudding tough.
- Steam the pudding for the full amount of time. Undercooked pudding will be dense and gummy.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.

Steamed carrot pudding is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist texture and sweet flavor, this pudding is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
