Individual Steak and Kidney Pudding
Asked on 1 Jan 2017 by vivsim
Hi.
I love Delia's steak and kidney pudding. Not having a 2.5 pint basin, I make it in a 2 pint basin and cook it for the same time: 5 hours.
The pudding is really much too big for just my husband and me. Can you advise on quantities and cooking time for, say, a 1.5 pint pudding basin?
I'd also be very interested in making individual-sized puddings. It would be a great add-on for the original recipe, and on advice on reheating leftovers.
By the way, maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I can't find a way to search the questions that have already been asked. Is there a way to do this? I'd be sorry to ask you the same questions you've answered many times before.
Thank you.

Hello Vivienne,
For a 1.5pt pudding I would try (but haven’t tested)….
225g self-raising flour
110g suet
350g beef
175g kidney
1 smallish onion
5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
As the meat goes in raw it is still going to need a long cooking time but I would try 4.5 hours to start with.
We wouldn’t make individual puddings because you can’t get the right balance of filling to pastry and the recipe needs the long steaming.
To re-heat you can re-steam a cooked pudding for an hour for a smaller pudding or 1.5 hours for the full size.
To find past questions you can …
Enter a keyword (e.g.Delia's treacle sponge) into the Search Box and when the page returns - click on Content (at the top right hand side of the page) and a list of everything, including the ‘Ask Lindsey’ questions will be revealed.
Or just ask again.
Kind regards
