I made cottage pudding as our dessert to go with our duck stew for supper last night. Everyone loved it, especially the grandkids and one grandson who knew there were leftovers of the pudding, dropped in several times the next day, each time he warmed up the sauce and had a piece of pudding. He says he now has a new favourite dessert. Delicious and easy to make.
