HASTY PUDDING

• Serve hot with sugar and milk, with plenty of butter and salt as desired.

HASTY PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F; position a rack in the center of the oven. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, cinnamon and salt to combine. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the half-and-half, maple syrup, molasses and brown sugar. Heat until just starting to boil, then lower to a simmer and slowly add the cornmeal mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly. Simmer, whisking, for about 5 minutes. Whisk in the butter and the orange zest and juice.
• Transfer the pudding to the prepared baking dish and bake until set, 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve topped with whipped cream, spread evenly over the pudding.
• With an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and continue whipping until the cream holds stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

AUSTRALIAN HASTY PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Melt butter, add sugar and egg. Beat briskly then add flour, and then milk. Beat to batter consistency.
• Pour golden syrup into a buttered/greased small pie dish (my Granny used an old enamel baking dish that holds about two cups of liquid - it's important the dish is not too shallow and the batter not spread too thinly) and allow to settle, then pour batter on top of golden syrup.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes. It should have a crisp, golden crust (almost biscuit-like) and a soggy bottom. Spoon straight from pie dish into bowls and serve with ice-cream or cream and a little extra golden syrup.
