Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cranberries

• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Water

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the cranberries and cherries.
5. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
6. Grease a pudding mold or a heatproof bowl with butter. Pour the brown sugar syrup into the bottom of the mold.
7. Spoon the pudding batter into the mold, spreading it evenly.
8. Cover the mold with aluminum foil and place it in a steamer or a large pot with a steaming rack.
9. Steam the pudding for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove the pudding from the steamer and let it rest for 10 minutes.
11. Invert the pudding onto a serving plate, allowing the syrup to drizzle over the top.
12. Serve the Cranberry-Cherry Steamed Pudding warm.
