Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot with water so it comes halfway up the sides of your pudding basin or bowl. Place a trivet or an inverted heatproof dish at the bottom of the pot. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
- Grease a 1.5-liter (or similar) pudding basin or heatproof bowl with butter. Optionally, you can line the bottom of the bowl with a small circle of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 2/3 cup of butter and 3/4 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Mix in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a spoonful of the self-raising flour to bring it back together.
- Sift the 1 cup of self-raising flour over the wet mixture. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
- Fold in the 1/2 cup of finely chopped or ground almonds.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of milk and gently mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the batter into the greased pudding basin, leveling the top with a spatula.
- Cover the basin with a layer of parchment paper and then a layer of aluminum foil, pleating both layers in the middle to allow for expansion. Secure with kitchen string around the rim of the basin.
- Carefully place the covered basin into the pot of simmering water, ensuring the water comes halfway up the sides of the basin.
- Cover the pot with a lid and steam for about 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the water level does not drop too low. Add more hot water if necessary.
- The pudding is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, carefully remove the basin from the pot.
- Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate. Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of syrup, custard, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing; this helps to achieve a smoother batter.
- Grease your steaming bowl well to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- Cover the steaming bowl with foil tightly to avoid any water from seeping into the pudding.
- For a richer flavor, you can use homemade lemon zest and freshly ground almonds.
- Be patient while steaming; resist the urge to lift the lid frequently as it can cause the pudding not to set properly.
A well-steamed pudding is a true delight, with its moist, tender crumb and the perfect balance of rich syrup, zesty lemon, and crunchy almonds. With the tips provided, you're set to create a dessert that will be remembered for its flavor and texture. Enjoy your Steamed Syrup Pudding warm, perhaps with a drizzle of additional syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
