Recipe Description

Eve’s Pudding is a traditional British dessert, often served with custard. It’s a rich, dense pudding with a sweet, fruity flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried mixed fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries)
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Grease a 1-quart pudding basin.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the dried fruit and nuts.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pudding basin.
8. Place the pudding basin in a larger baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the pudding basin.
9. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• You can add other dried fruits, such as cherries or apricots.
• To serve, you can warm the pudding and top it with custard or cream.
