This is a Christmas tradition in my family. I love making it each year and the smell while it’s steaming… divine! Perfect recipe!
That sounds lovely! Christmas pudding is a must for the holidays. I can almost smell it just from your description!
Really? Stout in pudding? Sounds weird, but I gave it a shot. Turned out pretty good! Who knew??
This pudding was a disaster; it just wouldn’t set! Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out mushy. Disappointed!
