oathm8, do you have any particular flavour preference? e. g. Chocolate or Lemon or Marmalade or Raspberry or... ... ...

If you already have downloaded (or would like to download) the Trademecooks recipes there are lots of steamed pudding choices there including all the above mentioned options. You can download the Trademe recipes from:-

http://www.e-ware.co.nz/downloads.htm

You may also be interested to know that steamed puddings can, very successfully, be cooked in a crockpot/slowcooker.

Hope that helps. :-))

Edited to add that if you refer to the Trademecooks recipes for a steamed pudding recipe and wish to make a Steamed Marmalade Pudding, you will find it under the heading "Self-Saucing Puddings" - as the 'poster unknown' of that recipe I do recommend it both for ease of making and for being a yummy pudding that I have made many many times, each time very successfully. :-))

Thanks again. Did just that, there were so many, I was overwhelmed. I think I will try your one listed above.

haha, yep there are alot and some seem complicated and others easy as, another one I like is a 3/4 hour golden syrup one, will get the edmonds book out and copy it for you;1 and 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 3 tsp sugar, 1 tablespoon butter milk to mix, sift flour, salt and baking powder together add sugar, rub in butter and mix to a soft dough with the milk. I do this all in the bowl I am going to cook it in, Mix and pour the following syrup over the top, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon golden syrup or honey, and 1 cup boiling water. do not cover the basin, stand this in a pot of boiling water (water to come half way up the side of basin). Put lid on and steam for 3/4 hour. I also put abit more golden syrup and water than this.

Golden Syrup Dumplings
Dumplings for dessert? Yes when they are cooked in golden syrup.

Dumplings

1 cup self-raising flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk
Syrup

1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Golden syrup or honey
1 tablespoon butter
METHOD

Sift flour into a bowl. and rub in the butter until it is like breadcrumbs. Beat the egg and milk together, and carefully mix with the flour to make a soft dough. Do not over-mix as this will make the dumplings tough.

Place the water, sugar, butter and golden syrup into a large saucepan and bring to the boil.

Drop in teaspoonfuls of the dough, cover with a lid and simmer over a moderate heat for about 12 minutes or so until cooked. Remove from the heat and serve with warm runny custard or ice-cream.

Serves 4 - 6 people

And i have doubled the quantity for the dumplings and they syrup, even make more syrup when I only make the normal dumplings, lovely and sooooooooo easy to make.

kabbo, Jul 29, 3:21am
i might try those dumplings margy... . . i actually did make them a couple of weeks ago from another recipe someone gave me, but they were like big bullets - yuck. so what did i do wrong. this recipe said cook for 20 mins without lifting the lid (which i did - coz i wanted to see) but i think i cooked them even longer than that. obviously i cooked the living daylights out of them.

margyr, Jul 29, 3:29am
i use a knife to mix the ingredients and do it quickly like making scones, then just drop them into the boiling liquid off a teaspoon, have also very quickly using floured hands made nice balls, and no dont lift the lid for 12 mins. I dont use butter either just margarine which is sort of spread through the mix with the knife. Makes lovely light dumplings, and they reheat fine in the microwave for breakfast if any left;)

Found a nice steamed pud recipe (on facebook) which cooks for 1.5 hours.Lovely but I'm looking for a quicker fruit steamed pudding recipe if any of you have your favourites to share please.

I'm almost willing to commit sacrilege & make it in the microwave if need be.

My mother used to put chopped apple into golden syrup dumplings-yum
