This was so yummy! I had to adapt the recipe because we are gluten and lactose free, and I cooked them in coffee cups in a regular steam pan on the stove top which took 25-30 minutes and worked out great! This is what I used: 2/3 cups glutinous rice flour plus 1 tsp baking powder, only 5 tbsp cane sugar and using full fat milk (lactose free) I forgot to add the butter (and never missed it :-)) Thank you so much for this forgiving and versatile recipe! Edit: Forgot to mention that frozen and then defrosted bananas worked just as well as fresh ones :-) :-)

This was the first steamed pudding I've ever made or eaten, so I wasn't sure what to expect. So, now I know how delicious this type of dessert is (or, at least, I know how great this particular steamed pudding is :) ). Also, this couldn't be easier to prepare; it took about 15 minutes to mix together, then I was able to basically forget about it while it steamed on my stovetop. For those who aren't familiar with this type of dessert, the result is a very, very moist cake. I didn't have any brandy or orange juice, so I used Triple Sec in the chocolate sauce - yum! Thanks for the lovely recipe; it was a great reason to break my diet! :)

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
