Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the orange thoroughly. Optionally, you can also use organic oranges if you prefer.
- Zest the orange carefully to avoid the bitter white pith.
- Cut the orange in half and juice it. Reserve the juice for the batter and the rest for the syrup.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a large mixing spoon.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk.
- Stir in the orange zest and the juice of 1 orange until well combined.
- Grease the pudding molds or ramekins lightly with butter or a non-stick spray.
- Divide the batter evenly among the molds or ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Cover each mold with a piece of aluminum foil or baking paper, securing it with string if necessary. This ensures that no water gets into the puddings.
- Place a steaming rack or a trivet in the bottom of a large pot. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot but not touch the bottom of the molds.
- Heat the water until it begins to simmer.
- Carefully place the pudding molds on the rack.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the puddings for about 45-50 minutes. Ensure the water stays at a simmer and does not boil rapidly.
- Check the water level occasionally, adding more if necessary to prevent it from drying out.
- While the puddings are steaming, prepare the orange syrup.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the 1 cup of orange juice and an additional amount of sugar to taste (optional) to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the puddings are cooked (you can test by sticking a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean), carefully remove them from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the molds to loosen the puddings. Carefully invert them onto serving plates.
- Pour the warm orange syrup over the top of each pudding before serving.
- These steamed orange puddings are best enjoyed warm. They can be served as they are, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.
Tips:
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better blending and smoother batter.
- Grate only the orange zest, avoiding the white pith to prevent bitterness.
- Make sure the steaming water is at a gentle simmer to ensure even cooking.
- Cover the pudding molds tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from getting in.
- Test the doneness by inserting a skewer into the pudding; it should come out clean.
Steamed orange puddings are a delightful way to enjoy a light and citrusy dessert that is sure to impress.
