Orange Pudding, so easy 

My Orange Pudding recipe is so moist and delicious; it’s quite a looker too! Look at it there glistening away! 

Sweet oranges in brown sugar with a delicious and simple pudding on top, tipped over to show the oranges beautifully.

Christened with a simple orange juice syrup poured over the top – it’s heaven on a plate – trust me 

Perfect for Sunday lunch pudding or just cold with a cuppa – yum 

 

What oranges should I use in my Orange Pudding? 

You can use any oranges really.

I’ve used Jaffa ones here, but you can use any to be honest, even large clementines if you like 

 

Step by step to your simple citrus pudding

Step 1 – grease that dish!

Firstly you will need to grease your ovenproof dish with butter – really well!!! Do it with gusto ….

This will help when you tip it out, no sticking and it will look so pretty

Then cover the butter with brown sugar – this gives the pudding its crunchy bits and a dark caramelisation. Delicious!!

 

 

Next peel your oranges and slice into 1 cm slices and place on the brown sugar

 

 

Step 2 – make the orange pudding batter

Please follow the instructions in the recipe card below 

Cream your butter sugar and add your eggs, one at a time, beating well between eggs.

Add your orange zest and finally fold in your flour and baking powder – stir to combine

Spoon onto your oranges and smooth the top

 

Step 3 – Bake  your pudding

Follow the directions on the recipe card for baking 

 

Step 4 – Invert your orange pudding

Remove your pudding from the oven and run a knife around the edge – leave for a couple of minutes.

Next pop your serving plate on top and then carefully invert. Hold the plate and fish firmly and give it a little shake to ensure the pudding has released

Finally remove your pudding tin or dish and you should see a beautiful orange encrusted pudding

If a few bits have stuck just pop them back on the pudding 

 

Step 5 – pour over your orange syrup

Finally pour over your syrup and ta- dah – serve!

*** KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE SYRUP – Else you’ll end up with Burt orange toffee!

And it’s super hot! Be careful 

 

 

 

What to serve with your Orange Pudding?

Orange pudding Serving suggestions

Simply serve warm with

• Ice-cream
• Cream
• Custard
• Or all 3 🥰
• You can also easily  serve cold with a nice cuppa – it’s so good

 

Top Tip

*** If you’re feeling really decadent then why not add a dribble of Cointrea or Grande Marnier to the syrup? 

What pudding baking dish / tin, should I use? 

To be honest it doesn’t really matter what shape but I do like a round pudding – as long as the size is approx 23 cm in diameter ….

The one I use is sort of an old fashioned type, enamelled, which I actually bought in the supermarket

I have loads of different shapes and I love them – really handy and also relatively low cost

 

Can I freeze my orange pudding?

Yes of course you can freeze your left overs but to be honest I wouldn’t

Why would you?

When it will keep for 3 days in an airtight tin and still be really moist?

I hope you enjoy your Orange Pudding

Please let me know what you think

Individual Clementine Pudding 

These individual ones are very simple and maybe slightly more elegant if you’re trying to be a bit fancy 🙂
