Mini christmas puddings

I normally make my christmas pudding in October, but there are only two people in the family who eat it... so i had an idea that instead of making a big one i could make little ones. The only question is how long would you steam them for the first time? I normally steam the big one for six hours and then two hours on xmas day. I was thinking that probably about an hour would be enough, what do you guys think? Thanks for your help.

  • According to Delia
    Small puddings take 3 hours’ initial steaming, then 1 hour on Christmas Day.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    I'm sure I once heard Nigella say that as long as there is water in the pan still, you can't OVER steam anything so on theat assumption I wouldn't worry too much
