Christmas Carrot Pudding image

This is a traditional English steamed pudding, which I serve with Egg Nog Sauce. DH could care less about Christmas anything, except this. If I don't make this, I may as well pack my bags ... :) This is his dear Mom's recipe, just as she wrote it, I don't dare change it!

I've made this pudding gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. It turned out just as delicious as the regular version.

I love that this pudding is made with whole wheat flour. It makes it a bit healthier than traditional carrot pudding.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pudding didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.
