Spiced Figgy Duff
A traditional steamed Newfoundland pudding studded with juicy raisins and dark, sticky molasses.
Ingredients
250g plain flour1.5kg
100g light brown soft sugar500g
2 tsp baking powder200g
1 tsp ground ginger38g
1 tsp ground allspice38g
1 tsp ground cinnamon40g
150g raisins500g
75g unsalted butter, melted250g
160g black treacle or dark molasses454g
Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and spices.
- Add raisins and stir well, making sure to coat the raisins in the flour mixture.
- Add melted butter, molasses and water and mix with a wooden spoon. Form a ball with the spoon or your hands and put the dough ball in a cotton pudding bag. Tie the bag, leaving at least 1 inch of room to allow the pudding to expand while cooking.
- Boil pudding for 1.5 hours. (In NL, this is typically done in the pot along with Jiggs Dinner, but it can be done independently.)
- When the duff is firm, remove it from the boiling water and let it cool slightly before removing it from the pudding bag.
- Slice pudding like a cake and serve with the warm sauce of your choice: rum butter sauce, warmed molasses or Molasses Coady sauce (1 cup (250 mL) molasses, 1/4 cup (60 mL) butter, 1/4 cup (60 mL) water) is common in Newfoundland.
