Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Suet (or grated cold butter)
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Mixed dried fruit
- 1 Egg
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, suet (or grated butter), brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Stir in the mixed dried fruit, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add the milk. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is combined and forms a thick batter.
Grease a 1-liter pudding basin (or heatproof bowl) with butter or cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the basin, leaving a little room at the top for expansion during steaming.
Cover the basin tightly with a layer of parchment paper and aluminum foil, securing it with kitchen string around the rim. This will prevent water from entering the pudding during steaming.
Place the basin into a large saucepan or stockpot with a steaming rack or an upturned plate at the bottom to keep the basin from direct contact with the pot. Fill the pot with boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the basin.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the pudding on low heat for 2 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the water level is maintained. Add more boiling water as needed.
After steaming, carefully remove the basin from the pot and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. Turn it out onto a serving plate.
Serve the Crowdie-Mowdie pudding warm with a drizzle of golden syrup and a side of custard or cream, if desired.
