Ingredients

1 C Shortening - butter can be substituted

1 C Sugar

1 Egg

1 tsp Vanilla

1 C Milk

2 C Flour

4 tsp Baking Powder

1/8 tsp Salt

1 1/2 C Chopped figs

Directions

Sift dry ingredients together - set aside.

Add 3 - 4 inches of water to a large pot and set on flame to get hot.

Cream shortening.

Add sugar slowly, beating in well.

Add egg and vanilla, mix well.

Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk.

Add figs.

Pour into well greased and floured pudding mold or bundt pan.

Cover tightly with clean tea towel and tie around the rim with cord.

Gather corners of cloth toward top center of pan and fasten with pin - this will make it easier to remove the pan from the pot later and keep the towel from sitting in the water which can make the top of the pudding soggy.

Carefully lower pan into pot with water in it - make sure the water only comes up about halfway on the pan. Remove excess if necessary.

Steam for 2 hours - check water level occasionally just to make sure it doesn't go dry. IMPORTANT NOTE - Do NOT let water boil.

~*~*~

Serve with "Bird's" custard prepared according to package instructions.

Tip for tying cord - Since the pudding mold is tapered, tie the cord slightly lower than you want it so that when you gather the corners of the towel the cord "rolls" up a little higher. This will ensure a snug fit around the rim of the mold.

OK, I made this yesterday and it came out good. It was kind of like sweet bread pudding with figs. We all had it for breakfast this morning. It took me a while to cook it, though, the dough in the middle stayed sticky forever. I should have raised the water temperature, I guesse. Do you know if I could have cooked it in the oven in the water bath? Thanks again for the great post!
