  • Difficulty: Medium

  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 40 g Flour, plain
  • 50 g Milk, whole
  • 1.5 g Yeast, dried
  • 6 g Sugar
  • 17 g Egg
  • 12 g Butter
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 12 g Raisins
  • 10 g Currants
  • 5 g Candied peel
  • 15 g Syrup (stroop), to serve

Method

  1. Warm the milk until lukewarm, stir in the yeast and sugar and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, add the yeasty milk, the egg and two-thirds of the butter, melted, and beat for 5 minutes into a thick, smooth, stretchy batter.
  3. Stir in the raisins, currants and candied peel, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  4. Grease a pudding mould with a lid (a poffert tin) well with a little of the remaining butter and dust it with flour. Spoon in the batter so it fills the mould by about two-thirds, close the lid and leave for 30 minutes to rise again.
  5. Stand the mould in a large pan of simmering water that comes halfway up its sides, cover the pan and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes, topping up with boiling water as needed. A skewer pushed into the middle should come out clean.
  6. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then turn the poffert out of the mould.
  7. Serve warm in thick slices, with the rest of the butter and the syrup poured over.
