Best Steamed Orange Puddings Recipes

ORANGE STEAMED ENGLISH PUDDING WITH RUM BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, making sure each is incorporated before adding next.
• Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl and alternately add flour mixture to the butter mixture with the orange juice.
• Stir in grated zests and turn the batter into a well buttered 1 quart steamed pudding mold and cover tightly with a lid or a double layer of foil secured with kitchen string. Set the mold on a rack in a kettle with a tight fitting lid and add enough hot water to kettle to reach 2/3 of the way up the sides of the mold. Steam the pudding covered for 2 hours.
• Remove and let pudding cool a bit on a rack for 10 minutes, uncovered. Meanwhile, MAKE THE RUM BUTTER: With an electric mixer with a whip attachment, cream butter. Beat in sugar a little at a time and then beat in rum, zest and nutmeg. Beat until light and fluffy and transfer to a serving bowl. Place a serving plate on top of the pudding and invert onto a serving plate and serve with the rum butter.

STEAMED ORANGE PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir together baking soda and orange juice.

• Beat together butter, sugar, and salt with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add orange juice, raisins, marmalade, and bread crumbs and mix at low speed until blended. Spoon batter into lightly buttered mold.
• Cover mold with a sheet of foil and secure it tightly with kitchen string (if mold has a lid, use that instead). Put mold on a metal rack in a deep pot. Add enough boiling-hot water to pot to reach halfway up mold, then cover pot and steam pudding in simmering water, adding more boiling water as needed, until surface of pudding feels dry and firm, about 2 hours. Cool on another rack 5 minutes. Loosen edge of pudding with a thin knife and invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
