  • Today I'm making a treat for the servants - my recipe for steamed chocolate pudding.

  • For this recipe you will need:

  • Some chocolate.

  • Breadcrumbs.

  • Milk.

  • Butter.

  • Caster sugar.

  • And eggs.

  • Always buy the best chocolate you can afford, then you're guaranteed quality.

  • First, melt the butter and chocolate together and then add the breadcrumbs and then the

  • milk.

  • Stir it over the heat until it is quite thick.

  • Next, separate the eggs and cook up the yolks with the sugar.

  • Now that my eggs and sugar have cooked together nicely, it's time to add them to the chocolate

  • mix.

  • Finally whisk the egg whites and then add it to your mix and give it a slight turn.

  • To steam your pudding, line your pudding basin and then pour your mix in.

  • Then cover with brown paper and then secure your cloth over the top. Then you can easily

  • make a handle for lifting.

  • Place it into a pan with water about half way up, cover it with a lid and then steam

  • for about an hour or just under.

  • Mmm, smells delicious.

  • Lord Braybrooke quite likes this pudding too. Naturally for him I make it look a lot more

  • delicate. But for the servants this is just fine.

  • You can serve it hot with cream, although it's very nice sliced and cold.

  • My chocolate pudding.
