Indulge in a delicious gluten-free Christmas pudding without missing out on the festive treat!
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 53.60 gm golden syrup
  • 52.80 gm orange marmalade
  • 70g (1 cup) fresh gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 240g (1 1/2 cups) Simple Apricot & Coconut Muesli
  • 200g (1/2 cup) mixed glace fruit
  • 225g (1 cup) Simple Baking Mix
  • Icing sugar, to dust
Instructions:
  • 1. To set up a makeshift steamer, place an inverted heatproof saucer in a large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with boiling water, aiming to reach one-third full, and gently simmer over low heat. Coat a 1L (4-cup) pudding basin with melted butter to prevent sticking.
  • Using an electric beater, cream together the butter, golden syrup, marmalade, and cinnamon until pale in a bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the breadcrumbs, muesli, fruit, and baking mix. Transfer the batter into the prepared basin and level the top.
  • Prepare a 30cm-square piece of non-stick baking paper and a 30cm-square piece of foil. Layer the paper on top of the foil and create a wide pleat in the middle. Gently cover the basin with the pleated paper and foil, making sure the foil side is facing up. Secure by tying a doubled piece of unwaxed white kitchen string underneath the basin's rim. Scrunch the paper and foil around the rim to protect them from getting wet.
  • Set the basin on the saucer in the saucepan. Pour boiling water into the saucepan until it reaches two-thirds of the way up the basin. Cover tightly with a lid. Simmer on medium-low heat, adding more boiling water if needed, for 1 1/2 hours until a skewer inserted in the pudding comes out clean.
  • Take the basin out of the pan and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Then, flip it onto a serving plate and sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
