Steamed orange pudding is a delightful and fragrant dessert that brings together the zesty flavor of oranges with a soft, moist texture. This classic pudding is perfect for special occasions or a comforting treat on a rainy day. Let's walk you through the steps to create this delicious dessert.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above.
- Zest the oranges to obtain fine orange zest and then juice them to get the required orange juice. Set the zest and juice aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and gradually add them to the butter and sugar mixture while continuing to mix. Ensure each addition is well incorporated before adding the next one.
- Sift the self-raising flour to ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually fold the sifted flour into the batter, mixing gently to combine.
- Slowly mix in the milk, orange zest, and orange juice into the batter. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a smooth batter.
- Grease a pudding basin or a heatproof bowl with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased pudding basin. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pudding basin with a layer of baking parchment and a layer of aluminum foil, pleated in the middle to allow room for expansion. Secure with string or a rubber band to keep it in place.
- Place the pudding basin in a large saucepan or a steamer.
- Fill the saucepan with boiling water up to halfway up the sides of the basin.
- Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and steam for about 1.5 to 2 hours, ensuring to check the water level occasionally and top up with boiling water if necessary.
- After the steaming time, insert a skewer into the center of the pudding. If it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If not, continue to steam for a bit longer and check again.
- Carefully remove the pudding basin from the saucepan and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
- Remove the foil and parchment, then invert the pudding onto a serving plate.
- Serve the steamed orange pudding warm. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of cream, custard, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps in creating a smooth batter.
- Grease the pudding basin lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cover the pudding with a layer of parchment paper and then foil to ensure no water seeps in during steaming.
- Check the water level in your steamer occasionally and top up with boiling water if necessary to prevent it from drying out.
- To check if the pudding is done, insert a skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the pudding is ready.
Your steamed orange pudding is now ready to be enjoyed. This luscious dessert is a wonderful blend of citrus flavors and a tender, moist texture. Serve it warm with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent experience. Happy cooking!
