Our Newfoundland culture is all about making puddings and any type of puddings, this is another way you can feed your family and have food left over. This onion pudding is not a popular pudding but it have been made by many elders over the years. It is a white pudding with only the simples of ingredients, flour, butter, baking powder, sea salt and milk everyone got these ingredients in their house. One main ingredient is onion, grated into small pieces and fold into the dough.
It tastes and smells amazing!
You could serve it with a jam or molasses or just plain butter, but you may want to give the gravy a try first. If you taste it this way you may not try it the other way, me I love puddings and any type of pudding works for me. 🙂

Hi Joan: Thank you for your message and for stopping by, I agree a good old tin can makes a lovely mould. I even used that for single servings for my fruit cake, so lovely. Enjoy our onion pudding recipe to the fullest. 🙂 Bonita
I can’t thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I remember my aunt making this when I was a little girl. I believe she precooked onions before adding to pudding mixture because I remember the onions being a bit caramelized on the edges. (Polite way to say burned on edges). I have been searching for years for a recipe. I will be trying this on the weekend. Thank. You again. PS. Love your recipes ?
Hi Debbie: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for letting me know you are going to make our recipe. This is indeed a tasty pudding and the recipe was a request from this beautiful lady who wanted to give this pudding recipe to her husband for a gift. Because it was a pudding he grew up having as a kid. So I hope you enjoy to the fullest.

How do you boil it if it’s cooked in a tin? I’m not sure I understand completely how to cook them right
Hi Jamie, Thank you for your message and for stopping by…its really a steamed pudding in boiling water. If you get to much water on the pudding it will be soggy and not be very appealing. So cook it on top of your boiler over food or in a pudding tin is boiling water. I hope this helps and enjoy it is indeed a tasty pudding.
Happy New Year!!
