Flaming Pud! |
As promised in my Christmas Pudding blog post from earlier
this month (you can read it here), I can now give you the verdict on my homemade Christmas pud!
On Christmas Day, with much anticipation, we removed the foil and greaseproof
paper from the pudding bowl. The pudding looked and smelled delicious. We
warmed it up again and without further ado turned it out onto a plate! As everyone
gathered round, we artfully arranged a sprig of holly from the garden on top
and pulled out the bottle of brandy! We poured a large sploosh of brandy over
the pudding and set fire to it. What a spectacle! There were lots of oohs and
ahhs from the guests! Unfortunately the photographer – me – was a little slow.
I had just eaten a huge Christmas dinner after all. So we had to do a take two
and pour more brandy and create more flames. A little more brandy won’t hurt we
thought. And it didn’t! I got the photo and we were ready to eat.
The thick,
creamy brandy sauce was piping hot. We poured a generous helping over our
slices of pudding and dug in. My concern over using butter instead of suet was
unfounded. Everyone agreed the pudding was so light and delicious -much lighter
than the store-bought version. I will definitely be making my own pudding again
next year and using butter too! Hope you also enjoyed yours or will try making
your own next year!
