How to Make Heerlike Poeding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup raisins (optional).
- Gradually add 1 cup milk, mixing until smooth.
- Pour batter into a 7-8 inch square or round, 3-4 inch deep, uncovered casserole dish.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding bakes, prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 2 tablespoons butter.
- Bring the syrup to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the pudding is out of the oven, immediately pour the hot syrup evenly over the top.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
