The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) square or round baking dish.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A deeper dish works best to contain the sauce that forms at the bottom.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the batter portion of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
About 2 min
- 3
Pour the milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A few small lumps are okay; overmixing can make the pudding tough.
- 4
Spread the batter evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
About 1 min
- 5
Scatter the mixed berries evenly over the top of the batter.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
- 6
Sprinkle the remaining topping portion of granulated sugar over the berries.
About 1 min
- 7
Carefully and slowly pour the boiling water over the entire surface. Do not stir.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Pouring over the back of a spoon helps distribute the water gently without disturbing the layers.
- 8
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the cakey part comes out clean.
About 35 min
- 9
Let the pudding rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: This is delicious served warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
