We hope you are still very interested in our delicious steamed ginger sponge pudding today, years ago here in Newfoundland and Labrador people would have puddings or bread with many meals.
My dad would say, this was because there was big families and mouths to feed, having pudding on the side would help fill you quicker.
Now! How good do these delicious puddings look!
Believe me they taste amazing and the ginger just pops in your mouth after every taste. Whether you have it microwave style or steamed on the stove top, you won’t be disappointed with the results. Use fresh ginger or ground whatever you have available, but most diffently grate some fresh ginger over the ginger custard to have that hot and warm taste in ever bit……
