A Taste of Canada ~ Figgy Duff



YIELD:8 SERVINGS OR MORE

prep time: 10 MINUTES

cook time: 1 HOUR 30 MINUTES

total time: 1 HOUR 40 MINUTES

Newfoundland Figgy Duff has nothing to do with figs; raisins were once referred to as figs here & are always added to this traditional steamed pudding.

Ingredients

2 cups flour

½ cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup melted butter

¾ cup milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

Instructions

Sift together the flour sugar and baking powder.

Add the raisins and toss well.

Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla.

Mix all together with a wooden spoon just until a soft dough is formed. Put dough into a pudding steamer or a wet heavy cotton pudding bag, tying the bag with a piece of butcher string but leaving about an inch of slack at the top to allow the pudding to expand. Boil for approximately 1 1/2 hours. This is most often done in the pot with the boiled root vegetables, cabbage and salt beef included in a Jiggs Dinner but can be done in a pot on its own as well.
