I adore mince pies – but are they a pudding? I always think not, but I want them to be; to transpose all those rich, spiced, fruity and buttery flavours into something that rounds off a meal a little more lightly. So that’s what I’m giving you today: a divine cross between a mince pie and a steamed sponge. These mini puddings are heaven, and I urge you to try them this Christmas. I like serving them piping hot, with generous lashings of custard or cold cream.
