How to Make Steamed Orange Puddings
- Grease 6 (3/4 cup capacity) dariole molds generously. Use kitchen paper to blot away excess grease for a cleaner finish.
- In an electric mixer, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with 4 large eggs, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 cup milk and beat for 1-2 minutes until the batter is light and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared molds, filling each about ¾ full.
- Cut 6 (15cm x 15cm) squares of baking paper and foil. Place the paper onto the foil, pleat the center, and place over each mold. Secure with kitchen string.
- Place the molds in a large baking dish. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the molds.
- Cover the baking dish tightly. Steam the puddings for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 175°C (350°F) oven in a water bath for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- While the puddings steam/bake, prepare the sauce. Combine 1 cup fresh orange juice, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 100ml cold water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add 2-3 thinly sliced oranges and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional). Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally.
- Let the puddings stand in the molds for 5 minutes after cooking. Carefully invert onto serving plates.
- Pour the orange sauce over the puddings and serve immediately, drizzled with extra custard or cream.
