Food and Wine Matching - Frangelico Pudding with roasted hazelnuts

Serves

6

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup of hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp Frangelico liqueur
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup, plus extra for serving
  • 230g self-raising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 120g softened butter
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
  • Pouring or thickened cream and warmed golden syrup for serving

Method

  1. Mix 2 tbsp each of the golden syrup and Frangelico and pour into a 1.5-litre pudding basin, buttered, floured and lined on the base with baking paper. (We have used individual moulds).
  2. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add flour mixture, egg and milk alternately, a little at a time, then add lemon rind and beat for 1 minute or until smooth.
  4. Transfer to the prepared basin, smooth the top and cover closely with baking paper. Cover with foil, secure with kitchen twine and place in a large saucepan.
  5. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basin and cook over a medium-high heat, covered with a lid, until puffed and golden - around 2 hours, or 30 minutes for individual moulds.
  6. Serve hot with cream, drizzle with the remaining Frangelico and golden syrup to taste. Top with hazelnuts.
