Steamed pudding isn't the custard-like "pudding" you might assume, but actually a soft, moist, cake-like treat. Steamed puddings have a long history in England as a part of Christmas celebrations. ("Bring us some figgy pudding!") For wealthy Brits, steamed puddings were lavish affairs, loaded with eggs, butter, spices and even brandy. Evenly fill each glass or ramekin with the pudding liquid. Once the steam bath is simmering, lay a paper towel down in the water (to keep the pudding cups from moving).
