Set Fire to the Holidays With Christmas Pudding

Behold: Christmas pudding. A British favorite with medieval roots, Christmas pudding is a little like carrot cake with baba au rhum’s boozy kick. Brandy-soaked dried cherries, dried figs, and raisins are bound up in a dense but light steamed cake made from flour, breadcrumbs, and beef suet, enriched eggs, and seasoned with aromatic allspice, cinnamon, and citrus zest. Drizzled with flaming brandy and sweetened cream, it’s a showstopper for the holiday table that just happens to be super delicious. (It’s been around since the Middle Ages for a very good reason!). The best part? As master butcher Kevin Smith says, “This is the easiest dish in the world to make.” #christmaspudding #christmas #britishdessert #britishholiday #medieval Sign up for a ChefSteps Studio Pass subscription: Recipe: Christmas Pudding: Equipments: Buy a Pudding mold: Buy the Control °Freak® induction cooking system: Follow us: ChefSteps 101: Through science, entertainment, and industry experience, we strive to help every home cook reach their full potential.
