I am thinking along the lines of going to be too busy in the morning (kiddies like you) to prepare and I need to have enough time for it to cool in the evening when it's done before it gets put away. How did you do it without having a very late night?

Horrors...little chance of replacement by 25/12. Then I pondered about the "crock pot" as an option and lo and behold here I am. Will use my old ex AWW recipe and see how it goes...using a pyrex basin. <br />Brandy butter??? Cream approx 250gm butter with caster sugar till it tastes ok and is creamy (sorry...I never measure the sugar, just keep adding and tasting). Then mix in as much brandy as the mixture will 'hold',it depends on the amount of sugar you have used. That is, I stop either when it tastes ok or when it looks like there is a little brandy at the bottom of the bowl which is not being absorbed. Spoon into a nice serving bowl and refrigerate till needed. It melts beautifully over hot pud.<br />And the real kicker? For brekky on 26/12, fry slices of cold pud in butter and serve w left over BB. The fried pud gets a toffee-ish coating being fried. I don't recommend driving soon after tho...not if your pud is as boozy as mine.<br />merry Christmas ladiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707100036385881017.post-32982764054016463272012-11-24T19:50:16.201+00:002012-11-24T19:50:16.201+00:00Usually you simply double the time if you cook som...Usually you simply double the time if you cook something on low but I wouldn't want to swear to it in this case so id check it an hour before you think it should be done.

I think, although I've never tried it, that an enamelled one would transfer the heat differently and result in a pudding that burnt on the outside rather than cooking evenly throughout. Cooked this way, the pudding has virtually no crust of any kind and all traditional English steamed puddings are cooked in earthenware as far as I know. Also, just to clarify, you only have to cover the bowl with parchment, not line it. Well-greased, the pudding shouldn't stick. Hope that helps and good luck finding a traditional pudding bowl. I see them a lot in thrift stores here so maybe that's worth a punt?GentlyEccentricMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937687872730829915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707100036385881017.post-28944666026717106242012-11-21T17:48:27.322+00:002012-11-21T17:48:27.322+00:00is a bowl better ? or would a enamel pudding basin...is a bowl better ? or would a enamel pudding basin work as well ?
