steamed Puddings?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone tried making a steamed pudding in a crock pot? Or,

any kind of

cake? I am contemplating making a Christmas pudding this year, but as I've

never made a

pudding before using any cooking method and never cooked anything sweet in the

crockpot

before, I could do with some advice if anyone has experience.

Sorry, my first post disappeared somehow. --I've never done it but

many years ago I read the cookbook that came with my mom's first

crockpot. The cake section basically said put your batter in a

coffee can, put the can on a rack and bake it for a few hours. I

don't remember more details than that. Just that the can/baking pan

should not be directly on the bottom of the crock, it should be on a

a rack. You will probably be able to find a little cake-cooling

rack that will fit.

 

Steamed pudding should be pretty similar, shouldn't it? I believe

you seal the pudding in--check recipes on that, I know you cover it

so steam won't drip into the pudding --and you would put the pan on

a rack, again, and add water to create the steam.

 

But I have no real-life experience, just " thought experiments " from

reading recipes. Good luck! maybe someone who's tried it will have

some more detailed advice.

Also remember that puddings made with non-dairy milk really don't " set "

like regular puddings do, no matter what method is used to make them.

I haven't made steamed pudding in a crockpot, but a quick google

for " steamed pudding " crockpot turns up a number of (non-vegan) recipes

that might be workable to adapt.. The recipes state that the resulting

dessert is half-way between a cake and a pudding in texture. It seems

the key piece of equipment is a pudding mold with a tight-fitting lid.

And given that steamed puddings allegedly have a cakey-texture, it's

not surprising that the (non-vegan) recipes contain egg. Possibly the

Ener-G foods egg replacer would work here; I've had reasonably good

results using it in baking.
