Steamed Fig Pudding Recipe ingredients

• 2 cups stale bread crumbs
• 2½ cups milk
• 1 1/3 cups chopped figs
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon salt

To prepare this Steamed Fig Pudding Recipe, first the bread crumbs can be made by grinding stale bread through a food chopper, using the coarsest cutter. Left-over end slices of bread are good for this.

Mix together all the ingredients except the egg. Separate the egg; mix the yolk with the other ingredients, then beat the white stiff and fold it in last. Put into an oiled pudding dish which can be covered, or into a brown-bread tin, and steam three hours.

Serve hot with cream, whipped cream, cocoanut sauce, or orange sauce. A mild sauce is desirable for a fig pudding. A sauce with a pronounced flavor, like a lemon sauce, so disguises the mild flavor of the pudding that it is impossible to discover by the flavor what kind of pudding is being eaten.
