Serves 6
Add brandy or rum depending on personal preference or what you have available – they’re both delicious.
- 55g/2oz butter
- 55g/2oz plain flour
- 570ml/1 pint milk
- 4 tbsp brandy or dark rum
- 55g/2oz caster sugar
- Melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes and then stir in the milk. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the brandy (or rum) and the sugar and serve with Christmas pudding.
You can make this using cornflour instead of making a roux, but the results aren’t as creamy.
