The Most Demanding Christmas Carol

Blog update: We are going out of town to see Family and Friends in Atlanta Georgia and Winston-Salem, NC, so the posts may be slow here. So I’ll leave you with heart-felt advice: Eat Pudding.

Now, Bring us some Figgy Pudding!!!

I got a cartoon to put here off of Google images. But, to my surprise, apparently not everything on google images is in the public domain.  Sorry about the lame message. 

Figgy Pudding

Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
2 cups dried figs (about 1 pound), stems removed, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Garnish
Whipped cream

Instructions
In an electric mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the eggs and molasses and beat again. Add the figs, lemon peel, buttermilk, and walnuts and blend 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until everything is incorporated. Grease and flour and 8 by 4-inch souffle dish and pour in the batter. Bake in a 325-degree F. oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Spoon the pudding out onto plates or cut it into wedges. Garnish with the whipped cream.
