How to make eves pudding recipe
Peel, core, and grate the apple. Mix with the milk and all other ingredients. Add the brandy (optional), and enough milk to make a stiff batter. Butter the pudding bowl and add the batter.
Cover the pudding basin with a moistened and floured pudding cloth. You can also use a piece of buttery baking parchment and a sheet foil to cover it. To allow the pudding to expand, leave a pleat.
Boil the pudding for three hours or steam it. Boiling the water should get to three-quarters of the basin. It should not be allowed to boil dry, or the basin could crack. Place the custard or wine sauce on a plate. Sprinkle some extra sugar with a sprinkler.
