Steamed Carrot Pudding

Yes folks I was at it again last night. We tried a whole new recipe for a steamed pudding as we had some carrots that just had to be used. I LOVE STEAMED PUDDING. I have a feeling I may never make a baked cake again.

I forgot to take a picture last night, but took one this morning. You can see this will be gone after dinner tonight. Zoom out a bit and you can see who was eager to dig in this morning after breakfast....

I found the recipe here. But I had to half it due to the size of my pan. I also didn't have all the spices on hand so kinda fudged it with what I had. Lastly, the raisins were omitted because I detest raisins. I don't like them hot, I don't like them cold and I don't like them covered in chocolate. Yuck yuck yuck!

Steamed Carrot Pudding
*0.25 cup butter (mine was melted)
*0.25 cup granulated sugar
*0.25 cup molasses
*0.13 cup dark rum
*0.75 cup all purpose flour
*1 teaspoon ground ginger
*1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
*0.25 teaspoon baking soda
*1/3 cup chopped walnuts


Pretty much you mix is all together, throw it into your buttered pan, put that pan in a water bath and cook for 1.5 hours on a low boil. Delicious!

Sounds delicious. I just don't understand how my daughter dislikes raisins so much.

The Dutch make a dish called "poffert" that has a special pan with a tight-fitting lid, that you place in a large pan of water to boil or steam to cook. It's sort of like a not so sweet cake that you slice, and top each individual piece with melted butter and brown sugar. They serve it with soup for dinner. I even own a poffert pan from the Netherlands.

Gracie - I would love the recipe for the poffert! The pan sounds very similar to my "pudding pan". Fun!

That sounds and looks real good. I'll have to try to make this.
