This is an American cookbook,, so perhaps the making of steamed puddings is a regional thing? I know that I am from the Maritime provinces of Canada and we had steamed Christmas pudding, and a Carrot pudding, and Boston Brown Bread is also a kind of steamed pudding. You can use any heat proof bowl for these, even custard cups. My MIL's Carrot pudding recipe which is on here comes from PEI. This is a really lovely pudding. You can steam puddings in any heat proof container with sides so long as it is well buttered and sometimes floured. They often use soup tins! Then you can just cut the bottom of the tin off and push the pudding through. Hope this helps! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-18761801717839665132019-04-25T13:46:05.277+01:002019-04-25T13:46:05.277+01:00The flavors of prunes and walnuts combined in that...The flavors of prunes and walnuts combined in that pudding sound wonderful. I don't think suet is at all available in most North American markets, though, and most Americans don't have pudding basins or those little cups. It's a totally British thing, I think. The only times I have ever tasted puddings of that type were in England, in fact. <br /><br />best... mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-73747427700154756842019-04-25T13:28:54.056+01:002019-04-25T13:28:54.056+01:00Very cute individual!Very cute individual!La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.com
