Christmas pudding

Traditional Christmas pudding is always baked a few weeks before Christmas, then soaked in alcohol, wrapped in paper and put away until the holiday. I always bake some of these puddings and give them to my friends for Christmas. The recipe for the pudding itself is the same, but they are decorated in different ways: icing, icing sugar, berries, or whatever you like.

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1

Wash dried fruits with hot water, fold on a sieve. Then pour 200 ml. brandy and let it brew for at least a day.

Step 2

Mix all dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add dried fruits and nuts, zest and rye bread crumb.

Step 4

Add milk, then egg.

Step 5

Then oil and cognac (1 tbsp. L.). Mix well.

Step 6

Grease a baking dish with oil. Place a piece of foil on the bottom.

Step 7

Lay out the dough, cover tightly with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 160 degrees until tender. I got 1 hour 30 minutes. Then pierce the pudding with a toothpick in several places and pour the cognac over so that it is well absorbed into the ruding.
