How to Make Christmas Parson's Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 1.5-quart pudding basin or oven-safe dish generously with butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, sugar, flour, and spices. Mix well.
  4. Add the eggs, milk, and molasses. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pudding basin.
  6. Cover the basin tightly with foil or a lid.
  7. Place the basin in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the basin (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before inverting onto a serving plate.
  10. Serve warm with your favorite Christmas pudding sauce (custard, brandy butter, or vanilla ice cream).
