WE WANT SOME FIGGY PUDDING
This is a traditional ritualistic cake that we serve after Christmas dinner. We sing the "we want some figgy pudding" song and when it comes to the table we heat a metal ladle full of brandy and light it up then pour the bluish flames over the top! We serve it with Recipe #124985.
