Well, I searched high and low and couldn't find any suet anywhere. I still intend to find some and really try this challenge the way it was meant to be tried, but it got down to the wire and I had to make do with butter. I adapted this Very Chocolate Pudding, when by "adapted" I mean "I was lazy and made do with what I already had on hand without going to the store".
I left the measurements in grams because my scale will do both, so why bother with the conversion?
Ingredients:
120g butter (I used salted. It turned out fine.)
115g sugar
15g Nesquik (or other chocolate milk mix)
120g flour (I meant to add a pinch of leavener, but I forgot. Oops)
20g cocoa powder (This was all I had)
1 egg
(2oz milk, which I forgot to include. But I meant to. Include at your discretion)
90g chocolate chips, split 60-30
1) Cream the butter and the sugar together well, then cream in the Nesquik.
2) Sift together the flour and cocoa powder, and beat together the egg and milk.
3) Add the drys and wets alternately in a couple additions, beating well after each.
4) Stir in 60g of the chocolate chips
5) Butter a 1L bowl (or 2 1/2L bowls) and place the remaining chocolate chips on the bottom(s).
6) Spoon or pour the mixture into the bowl(s), then cover tightly with aluminum foil and secure with a rubber band.
7) Steam for 2 hours. Be sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the bottom of the pot (use a dishrag or a steaming rack).
8) Unmold and eat! Yum yum yum.
I made this chocolate one because my Monster is away for a few days, so I don't need to come up with something he'll enjoy too. Not that he doesn't like chocolate, but I like it much more than he does. I think sometime in the future I will do a pudding that is more to his taste, with strawberries... or perhaps orange... And if I can find suet, a savory one of course! I'm thinking steak, mushrooms, onions, perhaps potatoes.
