A delay in steaming the pudding
Dear Delia and Lindsey,
I have made a Christmas pudding batter … I kept it in the fridge for a day but wasn’t able to cook it today as planned … do you think it will be ok to cook tomorrow abput 38 hours after mixing ?
It had been refrigerated throughout the time . I know Gary Rhodes recommends keeping it raw in the fridge for a week… but what do you think ? many thanks , so appreciated !
