Sweet Things

On a day-to-day basis, the best way to round off a meal is with a piece of fruit, but for a special treat there’s nothing better than a home-made pudding.

When you are deciding what pudding to make, the first thing to consider is timing. Many puddings can be made in advance, which makes life a great deal easier when it comes to serving up, but is hopeless if you don’t have time to cook earlier in the day. A lot of quick puddings may need last-minute preparation, which is fine as long as there’s enough space left between the dirty dishes, and you don’t mind doing a little work between courses.
