Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method

Prepare the fruit mix. Make sure to chop fruit in similar sized pieces.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar and Chelsea Caster Sugar.

Add 4 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each.

Sift together self raising flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and bi-carb soda.

Add the flour mixture gradually to the creamed butter and sugar, alternating with the fruit mixture. Then, gradually add the brandy to help make mixing easier.

Fold in the white bread crumbs and mix in the hot milk and Chelsea Golden Syrup.

In a separate bowl, beat 3 egg whites until stiff, then fold into the mixture.

Place mixture into 1 large pudding basin or 2 small pudding basins, cover with one layer of baking paper and one layer of foil, secure firmly using string.

Boil 1 large pudding for 4 hours or boil 2 smaller puddings for 2 - 2½ hours each.

Serve with cream and Chelsea Caramel Brandy Sauce.

Note: The pudding may be reheated in the pudding basin for 40 minutes before serving or it can be cut into portions as required and heated in the microwave on med-high for 20 seconds per portion.
