[@wayneduff3699]

My last name is Duff, so had to watch this. I am from the west coast of Canada and have never heard of this. It looks fantastic. Thanks.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Oh my Wayne, I just seen your message after one year, on real. I'm glad the name of our recipe got you to visit our site. This is a old fashion recipe our elders would make for a dessert or with a gravy meal to feed their families. I hope you get to make this recipe and please follow up and I hope it don't take a year for my reply. :) Stay safe and welcome, www.bonitaskitchen.com for more tasty recipes. :) Bonita

Thank you you are so sweet and sorry I just seen your message, have a Merry Christmas. Enjoy Bonita

[@annfreese6499]

I've been living under a rock~ I've never seen a cake that was boiled! Very interesting. If my oven ever dies I'll have a new option!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Haha oh my that is so lovely!! We have a another cooking option too!! Microwave style blueberry duff... This one was shared for the students and people with a craving for a duff and no fuss cooking..... We post a new recipe every Sunday if you wish to visit. :) Enjoy Bonita www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/microwave-style-blueberry-duff/

[@clarafierro9394]

Newfoundland beautiful place! delicious recipe!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Clara Fierro thank you for your message and visiting Bonita's kitchen, I'm glad you are enjoying my recipes and I got to agree that Newfoundland is a lovely place. 😊 Bonita

[@philipwebb960]

I remembered that Long John Silver made a plum duff in "Treasure Island," but I didn't know what it was (that's why I remembered it). I've always wondered what a duff was, and now I know. I'll have to try it because it looks good and because it's so different from anything I've ever tried to make. Thank you for the lesson and the recipe(s). I'll certainly use the caramel sauce on lots of things.

[@bonitaskitchen]

You are very welcome Philip, that was a pretty cool story and I'm glad to help you make your first blueberry duff or you can replace the blueberries for plum or dates. Thank you for your message and have a wonderful day. :) Bonita

[@donaldsaunders4736]

Thanks Bonita I'm gonna try this recipe

[@bonitaskitchen]

You are very welcome Donald, thank you for stopping by and I hope you made and enjoyed our recipe. I do have another one for a microwave style blueberry duff if you wish to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK5la1-Z61jjpY sometimes when we are cooking a big meal we run out of space and the microwave comes in hand. Enjoy and Happy New Year! Bonita

[@gwine9087]

Ah, and you have those incredible wild blueberries, on The Rock.

[@jeannecooke4862]

Thanks!

[@brantmorrison3704]

Very nice presentation. : ) For years we've been making "steamed sponge puddings" as they are known in the U.K. and they are essentially the same recipe that you call a duff. I've never had a steamed pudding made with blue berries. It sounds and looks just great!

[@bonitaskitchen]

I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe and video, we have puddings and duffs and the only difference is one got eggs and the other got baking powder. Also years ago our elders would bake some of their puddings and steam the duffs, and I have a recipe on here as well for microwave style blueberry duff and its equally as delicious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK5la1-Z61jjpY But of course this is the new way of cooking not years ago, I guess it just saves time. Some cultural recipes are very similar but called something totally different. Thank you for stopping by and visiting our channel. Enjoy Bonita

[@kshaw2307]

This is very like our sponge puddings in Britain, looks great with the blueberries. I was taught to put a cloth or foil over the top of the pudding pot to stop condensation from the lid dripping on the pudding and making it too soggy.

[@bonitaskitchen]

HI and thank you for your message and for stopping by, if you got a pudding tin that will work great, this is my link to them if you wish to check them out. kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen-essentials/non-stick-steamed-pu - Plus if you are using a pudding bag tie it on the saucepan and lifted from the water so it don't get soggy. I understand about using the foil but thats optional. Enjoy Bonita

[@annewheadon7396]

Thank you will make with partridge berries too

[@bonitaskitchen]

That sounds lovely and you can use a type of berries in this recipe and it will taste amazing. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by and leaving a message, :) Bonita

[@coralc8827]

Hi all! I did not have a cotton bag, or a heat appropriate plastic bowl SO, I used a Muffin tray. Directions are as follows: I had my water boiling. Filled the muffin tray's up halfway with batter. Placed a small dish upside down on the bottom of the boiling pot of water to act as a shelf for my muffin tin. Place the muffin tin on the upsidedown dish. Cover and leave for 25 minutes. I doubled the recipe and made 15 small puddings. I love this recipe! We will be adding this to our annual Christmas tradition

[@bonitaskitchen]

That sounds lovely Coral, i'm trying to picture how you did that. I'm going to share with you our other recipe for microwave style blueberry duff kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK5la1-Z61jjpY I hope you check it out and enjoy. :) Thank you for stopping by...Bonita

[@gbrown1035]

Another Recipe to make tomorrow , Thanksgiving is a day later , but gonna be delicious ! Thanx Bonita !

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and I hope your thanksgiving was amazing and the blueberry duff was equally delicious for you. :) Bonita

[@margierussell9187]

Hi Bonita, looks delicious 😋 just wondering if your Duff can be steamed in a Pyrex glass bowl? A friend said can use a large butter tub; would you know if this is possible? Thank you...

[@bonitaskitchen]

HI Margie, Thank you for your message and for stopping by....I use now a proper pudding bowl. But I do have a recipe for microwave style duff cooked in a microwave safe glass bowl. I'm not sure about in hot water for one hour. This is the link to that recipe and I will share a link to the pudding tin too.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK5la1-Z61jjpYsi=0lybg0Xhh6YKLUZP pudding tin... kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen-essentials/non-stick-steamed- Enjoy Bonita

[@bonitaweekes4366]

Hi, I am from the Caribbean an not at all familiar with Newfound land Cuisine . I was looking to see how other people make their Black Cake and came across yours. This cake is known as Black Cake, Fruit Cake, Great Cake, made with Rum, Or Rum and Wine, Those who do not want use Guineas or any other Stout but the idea is the same. Black Cake is a must have on Caribbean tables at Christmas.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Bonita, First of all I love your name, :) and I agree that rum fruit cake reminds me of Christmas too, because it was the only time we would have this cake would be at Christmas time and Weddings. I've only made my dark cakes with rum, but I know many great bakers that use grape juice and i've tasted it and it was lovely.

Could this be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve it

[@bonitaskitchen]

Mathew Ward, thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, yes you can make this in advance and warm it up when you need it. Bonita

[@wyndeegrace]

hi Bonita, i love ur videos! thank u for sharing this video. i have 1 more request 😊 pls make a video on how to cook fish and brewis. i did it 2x but my hard bread is soggy 😐

[@bonitaskitchen]

I have a recipe that I posted on my Facebook page a few months ago but I don't have a video, if you like to visit there, I'm planning on making a taping of fish and Brewis later in May place stay tuned. Thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Daly: I just would like to let you know I posted a video on youtube for Fish & Brewis if you are still interested in making it, I made this video three months ago . I hope this will be helpful. Thanks once again Bonita

[@debbieboland6871]

love the video, I was wondering what kind of cream you used..would like the brand name if possible as I don't want to make a mistake when I make it for the Labor Day Weekend.. I was amazed that you used a plastic bowl,makes it so much easier.. and I have that exact same bowl.. Can't wait to try it.. thanks again

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Debbie: I used evaporate milk, no name or carnation milk, it's the same as half and half, If you make the pudding in that kind of bowl you need to put it into a boiler separate from your boiled meal, Jiggs dinner. This type of steamed pudding takes up a lot of room in your boiler, but you can use a cotton pudding bag it will need a little less room. I hope this is helpful and thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen. Bonita

[@kellysherrard257]

The pudding u put into the pot, is it in a plastic bowl or what kind of bowl do u have to use for it to cook inside the pot?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Kelly, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, this was a tuberware bowl but I have a link here to a proper pudding tin with a lid Link to pudding tin: kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen... I also got a recipe for microwave style duff kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK5la1-Z61jjpY enjoy to the fullest and thank you :) Bonita

[@doeeyes2]

My ex boyfriend's mom was Newfie and would make the best JIgg's Dinner. The best part was the apple pudding. Man im thinking about getting back together just for her cooking and baking skills. 😂

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thats so lovely thank you very much and this is indeed a lovely pudding. Apple pudding is lovely as well. This is another apple pudding recipe you may like kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmpZJaajpeIf7Msi=mQYZza7NBJswYMfN Enjoy Bonita

[@suzannejenkins3896]

Hi Bonita. Can the pudding be put in ramekins surrounded by water in a baking pan, and the piut in the oven? If so, what temp and for how long. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks!!!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Suzanne: I'm not to sure of your question, if you started it in your pot with you boiled dinner or in water by its self you will have to continue cooking it that way. But if you didn't you can bake it in your oven for about 45 min or until golden brown, poke a knife into your pudding to double check, I hope this helps you. Thank you for your question and visiting Bonita's Kitchen. Bonita

[@StephenMortimer]

the only REAL DUFF info I could find

[@bonitaskitchen]

I'm glad to help and I do have a microwave duff there as well, but if you got a pudding tin with lid. When I made this video I didn't have a pudding tin but I made do with the bowl I had. This recipe is my moms favourite, he usually have a slice with you boiled dinner with gravy and one slice with her caramel sauce. Enjoy Stephen and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@Maude111111]

Look yummy! Do you ever make a sauce like that with white sugar? My grandmother and entire family from NFLD. She always made a sauce that looked like that with white sugar? We don't know how to make it? Thanks, and keep posting, new subscriber, love the recipes.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Maude: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, a few weeks ago a shared here on youtube a Easter Pudding video and recipe and it got a white sauce check it out and see if this is the one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5qyeWuVqbehgdE Enjoy Bonita

[@1959bigjohn]

Hi Bonita I love your channel. I was wondering if I could use a metal bowl to boil the Duff in or would it get to hot

[@bonitaskitchen]

1959bigjohn hi and thank you for your message, yes, you can use a metal bowl and follow the same recipe, keep the top of your bowl out of the water and have a lid for your boiler. You can even use a metal tin like a tomato can just remove all the paper and clean it, be careful there is no sharpe pieces at the top. I hope this helps you, have a wonderful weekend. Bonita

[@suzannejenkins3896]

Hi, I was wondering if, instead of using a bag, could the pudding be put in individual dishes, then placed in a shallow baking pan half filled with water, and then done in the oven

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Suzanne, I've never done it before but if you feel comfortable doing this you can, but i just done a baked partridgeberry pudding a couple of days ago. The steps to that one was in a deep ceramic pot with a lid, bake for half hour cover to steam and half hour uncovered. But if you like you can keep the cover on all the way through for one hour then poke your knife or pick in there to check to see if its baked. Happy Thanksgiving and all the best, I'm sure your pudding will be great. Bonita

[@joanbaggs1915]

Hi Bonita! Do you make raisin Duff? My grandma used to make “pudding in a bag”. But it seems like it was a duff. She was from Marystown.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Joan, thank you for your message and for stopping by, sorry its taken me a full year to answer your question, I just seen your message. I haven't got a recipe on here for raisin duff but you can replace the blueberries for raisins and it will tasty amazing. If you use a pudding cotton bag, after you prepared the bag by rinsing water to wet it squeeze out the water and add the batter for the duff, the leave about two fingers of space in the bag for the duff to grow. Then tie the tread on the bag leaving some extra to tie the bag to your boiler. This helps the bag stay a float and only a little in the cooking liquid. The duff needs to steam not boil. I hope this helps and please follow up after you make it. :) Bonita

[@VioletStorm2288]

Could you please do a gluten free blueberry duff? I am celiac but my husband loves it, I want to make a version we can share!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you for your recipe request, I will see what I can do, but if you wish to make a half of this batch and add the gluten free flour instead of the AP flour with the other ingredients and steam or microwave the mixture. I hope this helps :) Bonita

[@VioletStorm2288]

@@bonitaskitchen thank you! I am excited to try!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

It looks like four servings to me!

[@bonitaskitchen]

haha I guess if you enjoy a big slice of pudding, we only make this size when we cook for 4 to 6 people. But my mom she always loves to have a second piece, enjoy and have a lovely day. :) Bonita

[@micstica]

Ive never heard of a plastic bowl that is made to tolerate that heat without leaching something unwanted. What brand of plastic bowl r u using? Could a stainless steel bowel be used instead.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Yes you are very right and it would be best to use a stainless steel bowl or pudding bowl. I only put it at the top of my boiler to steam but sense this video I have finally found a few years ago a pudding tin and it works prefect. I hope you to make it soon and I have another one here for microwave style blueberry duff www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/microwave-style-blueberry-duff/ This is a link to a pudding tin if you wish to check it out kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen-essentials/non-stick-steamed- Enjoy Bonita

[@GoranMak]

What did you put in the bottom of the pot? You never did show us.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message, sorry about that. I put a small foil pie pan, the one you would use for making pot pies or mini apple pies. I must have forgot to show that method, sometimes that do happen. :) It works lovely when you steam your pudding or duff having sometime at the bottom of the bowl so it don't burn to the boiler. Plus you only got a small amount of water in the boiler to steam the pudding I always say boil but really its steam. Thanks again and have a lovely day. Bonita

[@craigwalsh7741]

If I double this recipe do I still cook for only 1hr 15minutes?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message, I'm going to say check it at that point with by poking a knife into the duff and if it comes out clean it is cooked. I hope this helps and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita

[@hillaryhollins667]

Why is it a Duff meaning of Duff?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Hillary, Thank you for your message and for stopping by. It's just another name for a steamed pudding. They can be baked over a roast or chicken, but this one is steamed. Enjoy Bonita
