In my slow cooker today.... part 2

JulieGeorgiana

I found loads of recipies online. I found many too sweet, I prefer nice and creamy. So my recipe is:

1ltr UHT milk (as it's room temperature I find it works better)
90g Pudding Rice
60g Caster Sugar (reduced from 90g)

Mix together, sprinkle nutmeg. Cook for 5 hours. I find stiring at least half an hour before serving helps thicken it up.

I find it feeds 4 nicely (not loads though, just enough).

Hope you enjoy it

Made a self saucing chocolate pudding on Sunday, just for something different, never made a pud before.

Went well and recipe below which was in USA "cups" so I improvised and used a actual cup, that holds about half a pint in liquid form.
Only slight problem was my reading of the cooking bit, I thought it said 2 and half hours on low, it said high and so I welded a inch or so of pud to the pot. Because it ended up being on for 5 hours instead of 2. Its only just come off today.:o

Easy to do and very tasty, fed 5 on the day with a bit for leftovers, and very sorry if this is already posted somewhere.

3-oz butter
¾ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup superfine sugar
1½ cup self-rising flour
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder, extra
2½ cup boiling water
DIRECTIONS

Grease 4½ -quart slow cooker bowl.

Melt butter in milk over low heat in medium saucepan. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Stir in extract and sugar, then sifted flour and cocoa, and egg. Spread mixture into cooker bowl.

Sift brown sugar and extra cocoa evenly over mixture; gently pour boiling water evenly over mixture. Cook, covered, on high, about 2½ hours or until center is firm.

Remove bowl from cooker. Stand pudding 5 minutes before serving.

Hi

I hope you don't mind me posting here. Any advice on this please?:

Seems such a good price but I see they have the Morphy Richards one in the sale too.

I've never used one before (it will be just for one or two people).

Thanks

No, did you try it??? I make it in small glass jars on a specially bought heating pad. But it's be great to be able to make a larger quantity...
