Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and spices.

  2. 2

    Add the raisins and mix well, making sure they're fully coated in the dry ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add the melted butter, molasses, and water. Mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the batter to a cotton pudding cloth or a reusable steamer bag.

  4. 4

    Tie the top of the bag with kitchen twine, leaving about 2-3 inches for expansion. Place the pudding in a large pot or Dutch oven and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the bag.

  5. 5

    Simmer the pudding for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until it's firm and cooked through. Remove from the water and let cool slightly before serving

💡 Chef's Tip

Use dark molasses for the best flavor. If you don't have a pudding cloth, a reusable steamer bag works beautifully. Serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream.
