English Christmas Pudding is a traditional dessert served during the holiday season. It is a steamed pudding that dates back to the 14th century, and is typically made with flour, molasses, milk, raisins, and a variety of other fruits and nuts. The batter is steamed in a bowl or pudding mold for several hours, resulting in a dense, aromatic pudding that is typically served with a rich brandy sauce or custard. While it can be an intimidating recipe for beginners, it is a beloved holiday tradition that is worth the effort.
