Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Additional vanilla extract for drizzle (optional)
How to Make Steamed Vanilla Pudding
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Grease a 1.5-quart pudding basin or heatproof bowl with butter. Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared basin.
- Cover the basin tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from entering during steaming.
- Prepare a steamer pot by filling it with water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bottom of the pudding basin. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
- Place the pudding basin in the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Carefully remove the pudding from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
- While the pudding cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and additional vanilla extract (if using) until soft peaks form.
- Drizzle the whipped cream over the warm pudding and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your pudding basin is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Keep the water at a gentle simmer; a rolling boil can lead to uneven cooking.
- Allow the pudding to rest for a few minutes before inverting to avoid breaking.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or dried fruits to the batter for extra flavor.
- Swap vanilla extract for almond or lemon extract for a twist.
- Serve with fresh berries or a fruit compote for added freshness.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh berries or a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent touch.
