STEAMED CHOCOLATE-GINGERBREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Set a steamer insert into a large pot. Set an 8-cup steam pudding mold on steamer insert. Fill pot with enough water to reach halfway up sides of mold. Remove mold, and bring water to a boil.
• Butter mold. Whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cloves.
• Beat butter, sugar, and orange zest with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. With machine running, add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with molasses, beginning and ending with flour. Mix in chocolate.
• Evenly spread marmalade in bottom of prepared pudding mold. Pour in batter. Cover mold with lid or a clean kitchen towel secured with kitchen twine. Place mold onto insert set in boiling water. Reduce heat, and simmer. Cover, and steam until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure water level is maintained (add hot water as needed).
• Remove mold from steamer, and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla-bean creme anglaise.

ULTIMATE EASY GINGERBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. The dough will be soft at this point, but it'll firm up in the fridge.
• Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
• Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp water - you want to create a consistency that's thick and pipeable, and not too thin or it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with the icing using a piping bag with a thin nozzle. Find out how to make a piping bag.
