Almondpudding Recipes

PLUM & ALMOND PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the plums, cinnamon, lemon zest and brandy, if using, together in a bowl, then leave to macerate while you make the batter.
• Cream the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time, then tip in the flour and ground almonds. Mix until completely combined.
• Tip the fruit into a buttered shallow baking dish, spoon over the cake batter, then sprinkle over the flaked almonds. Bake for 35-40 mins until browned and cooked through. Test if the pudding is ready by inserting a skewer. If it comes out clean, the pudding is ready; if there is some batter on the skewer, then give it a few mins more. Remove from the oven and serve warm with clotted cream.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk and egg. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thickened. Remove from heat, and quickly stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Garnish as desired, and serve warm.

BAKED APPLE AND ALMOND PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the apples in a saucepan with the brown sugar and approximately 2 tablespoons of water, simmer gently until soft, and then arrange them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy and then beat in the eggs a little at a time. When all the egg is in, carefully and lightly fold in the ground almonds. Now spread this mixture over the apples, and even out the surface with the back of a tablespoon. Then bake on a highish shelf in the oven for exactly 1 hour. This pudding is equally good served warm or cold - either way, it's nice with some chilled pouring cream. Once cooled, it will keep in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
