A simple concoction of culinary indulgence to close off a meal…
I’m curious, was this dessert also known in Australia, or was it predominantly an NZ thing? |

I do remember having this when I was kid growing up in 60's to 70's, with everything being fast food with the microwave these days I cannot see the younger generation embracing this practice.

It, along with bread and butter pudding and rice pudding were staple in our house in the 50s.

No, a proper Christmas pudding is boiled in a cloth and is much firmer, this one is simply cooked in a double boiler and is a soft, crumbly, sticky, cakelike delight. It’s not turned out, but scooped from the basin to serve.
You make the dough/batter, place in a basin, pour prepared hot syrup over the top and sit in your pot of water already at a rolling boil. Cover with a vented lid and check after <30 minutes - then estimate your remaining cook time. |

Maybe a little pedantic, but it was probably a rice custard not a rice pudding. Actually finished off in the oven a bit like the steamed pudding that started this discussion. The other thing I recall is, there was always cake when you came home from school. |

Tonz, do you remember steamed pudding on dining room menus as “plain” and “plain with jam”? (Raspberry jam; was there any other?)
