British Pudding Day

9th November 2007

Jump to:   British Pudding Recipes

No-one can deny that British puddings rank amongst the most delicious and diverse in the world so what better time to honour these wonderful creations than on 9th November which is British Pudding day.

Despite British cooking having been much maligned in the past, the great British dessert has always stood firm throughout the ages, as a bastion of all that’s homely and comforting, especially on wintry days when puddings such as spotted dick or baked crumbles served with lashings of creamy custard, evoke childhood memories of anticipation of what sweet delights lay in store, together with a simultaneous feeling of slightly wicked self indulgence.

In today’s climate of healthy eating and counting calories, many people forgo the pleasures of eating home made puddings on a regular basis, in favour of low fat yoghurt and the like, but the 9th November is the ideal day to celebrate the unique heritage of the British pudding.

There are lots of traditional British dessert recipes at www.recipes4us.co.uk but for those who don’t have much time, here’s a wonderful microwave version of one of Britain's favourites – jam sponge pudding. Not only do you know exactly what’s in it, but you can prepare, cook and serve it within 15 minutes.
