Sift flour into a bowl, add nutmeg, allspice, salt, sugar and breadcrumbs, mix. Beat the egg and protein in a blender bowl. Continuing to beat, add the melted butter, orange juice, zest and beer. Pour the resulting mixture into flour, knead until a homogeneous dough is formed.

Step 3

Add both types of raisins, almonds and chopped apple. Mix well again. Lubricate the cake mold with vegetable oil, put the dough with a spoon. Cover with parchment paper and tie tightly. Place the mold in a larger pot. Pour in boiling water so that it reaches half the height of the mold. Cook 6 hours

Christmas pudding - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can often substitute ingredients based on your preferences or dietary needs. For example, you can use a different type of dried fruit instead of raisins, like cranberries or chopped dates. If you don't have beer, you can try using apple cider or more orange juice. For a vegetarian alternative, ensure the breadcrumbs used are vegetarian-friendly (some contain animal fats).
Once cooled completely, wrap the cooked pudding tightly in parchment paper and then foil, or place it in an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dark place like a pantry or refrigerator. It can last for several weeks in the fridge, improving in flavor over time. Freezing is also a great option for longer storage; it can last for up to 3 months.
Yes, Christmas pudding freezes very well. Allow the cooked pudding to cool completely, wrap it tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and then foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator overnight. Steam or microwave to reheat.
The best way to reheat Christmas pudding is by steaming it for about 1-2 hours, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for a minute or two until warm. Add a splash of brandy during the reheating process for extra flavor.
To make this Christmas pudding gluten-free, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to use gluten-free breadcrumbs as well. Check all other ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.
Yes, you can replace the beer with an equal amount of apple cider or ginger ale. These will add a similar depth of flavor without the alcohol content.
The pudding is cooked when it feels firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cooking time may vary depending on your pot and mold, so checking regularly after 5 hours is advisable.
