Christmas Pud-Pudding
Before you make any judgments, you’re going to have to try it!
You’ll need: 4x large Yorkshire puddings, 1 jar of sweet mincemeat, crumble mix (or have a go at making your own using 140g self raising flour, 85g chilled butter and 50g light brown sugar), custard/brandy sauce 🍮
Firstly, place your puddings onto a baking sheet and fill them with equal amounts of sweet mincemeat. Then in a bowl, make up the crumble mix or if you’re making your own crumble; rub your self-raising flour and chilled butter together with your fingers until you have a soft, crumbly topping, then stir in your brown sugar. Next, scatter your crumble topping over the sweet mincemeat and bake in the oven for 20 mins or until golden brown. You can then serve this with either custard or brandy sauce (whichever you prefer!) 🤩
