Ingredients

• 2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for hard sauce)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for hard sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for hard sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your steamer or set up a large pot with a steaming rack and boil water. Grease a 1-quart pudding mold or heatproof bowl with butter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pudding mold. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil to prevent water from getting in.

Step 7

Place the pudding mold in the steamer or on the rack in the pot. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and steam for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the pudding is steaming, prepare the hard sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until smooth.

Step 9

Add the heavy cream and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Once the pudding is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer and let it cool for 5 minutes before unmolding onto a serving plate.

Step 11

Serve slices of the warm blueberry pudding drizzled with the hard sauce. Optionally, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar for garnish.
