Gluten-Free Christmas Pudding
You will need:
1 cup gluten-free flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup mixed dried fruit
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
1/4 cup brandy
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, mixed dried fruit, baking powder, and mixed spice.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter until it's creamy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture, mixing well to ensure everything is combined.
- Stir in the brandy, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Grease a pudding basin and pour the mixture into it. Cover it with a piece of greased parchment paper, then a piece of foil, securing it with string.
- Place the pudding basin in a large roasting tin and fill the tin with boiling water until it comes halfway up the sides of the basin.
- Bake for 2 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the pudding comes out clean.
- Let the pudding cool in the basin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm with a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the brandy with apple juice. You can also make this pudding ahead of time and reheat it in the oven when you're ready to serve it.
