Tip

Introduction from Gary Mehigan:

 

These are a great little quick and easy winter pudding, you can substitute the dried figs with a number of dried fruits if you like such as dates, raisins or barberries. Cooking in a bain-marie in the oven is a gentler method of cooking and also keeps the puddings lovely and moist. 

Useful ingredients:

6 ramekins (8cm, 250 ml), roasting tray, bowl, baking paper and wooden skewer

Tip:

When in season, serve with fresh figs cut into halves.

    Made these and they were very tasty, made them in large muffin pan in a baking tray with water and they worked perfectly

    Needs more sauce (as Manou would say!)

    I like this cooked just fine.

    I made these for a work Christmas in July and they were a hit. Instead of the ramikins I used muffin tins which made them into a great bit sized treat. With as much sauce as you want and of course cream.

    I have made these twice now. Second lot I made 24 for a big gathering. Found they cook just as well in a muffin tray and directlyin the oven (no water bath)

    have been very game and changed the recipe a little, don't tell Gary!

    1) Add all orange juice from the 1 orange and make it up to 150gr with water - the total combined amount of the 2 ingredients.

    2) I do not  mill the hazelnuts or figs until really fine - I like a bit of texture.

    3 ) I also diluted the sauce with more juice, green ginger wine and some water.

    these have been a real hit!

    Did you make in the veroma or just the oven? And I love sticky date pudding, but are they richer than that?? If so I might steer clear...

    I think they would of cooked just fine in the varoma - made - found to be really stoggy..and the syrup very rich - if you like really rich food may enjoy but I was expecting big things from this recipe and no one really wow over it...

    Could you cook these in the Varoma instead of a water bath in the oven??
