How to Make Christmas Plum Pudding
- Grease two 2-quart pudding basins.
- Fill two large saucepans with water and bring to a boil. Place a trivet or rack in the bottom of each.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: [Specify Dry Ingredient Amounts Here].
- Cut in the butter using your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk ( [Specify Amount] ml), stout ( [Specify Amount] ml) or orange juice ([Specify Amount] ml), brandy ([Specify Amount] ml), and mixed citrus zests ([Specify Amount]).
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared basins, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Cover each basin tightly with greased greaseproof paper, then two layers of aluminum foil. Secure with string.
- Carefully place the basins in the prepared saucepans, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides.
- Boil steadily for 5 hours, adding more boiling water as needed to maintain the water level.
- On serving day, boil for an additional 1 hour. Alternatively, microwave individual slices for reheating.
- Serve warm with your favorite accompaniments such as cream, ice cream, custard, or brandy sauce. Enjoy cold or re-fried in butter!
- For gifting, allow the pudding to cool completely before wrapping.
