- Preparation: 95 min
- Cooking: 90 min
- Makes: 1 serving (169 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- 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
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, stir in the yeast and sugar and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- 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.
- Stir in the raisins, currants and candied peel, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then turn the poffert out of the mould.
- Serve warm in thick slices, with the rest of the butter and the syrup poured over.
