    Mrs Crocombe is making a treat for the servants - her recipe for steamed chocolate pudding.
    INGREDIENTS
    225g chocolate
    150g breadcrumbs
    1/2 pint milk
    150g butter
    120g caster sugar
    3 eggs
    METHOD
    Melt the butter and chocolate together, and then add the breadcrumbs and the milk. Keep stirring it over the heat until it becomes thick. Separate the eggs and cook up the yolks with the sugar, then combine this with your chocolate mix. Whisk your egg whites and then fold them into your chocolate batter. Line a pudding bowl with butter, and pour in your mixture. Add a circle of baking paper on top, and secure some cloth over the top using twine. You can bring up the edges and tie them into a handle. Place it into a pan and fill with water until it reaches halfway up the bowl. Steam for about an hour.

      Servants are still a thing, in some developing countries. My (late...) grandmother on mother's side was from Nepal. She had a servant, a man older than 50, who served her family, full-time (and actually full-time, lived in the house and could be called to do something any time) since he was 14... that always seemed, very strange, to me.
      My grandmother did chose to leave him with the house, which he lived in as a servant, all his life... which I thought was a nice conclusion to the whole affair.

    I tried to cook this one (with modifications on the materials and equipment i used), though i only cooked 1/3 of the entire recipe; plus i prepared homemade breadcrumbs since i have a few stale loaves bread on hand. I cooked them on moulds that are good for single serving, covered them with foil, and steamed on a bamboo steamer.
    And it actually turned out amazing. The texture is like a cross between bread pudding and cake; of course chocolatey, and the sweetness is just right. It is indeed delicious while it was still hot, and as well when it cooled to room temperature.
    One tip though, the chocolate to be added does play a role in the overall flavor; indeed use a good quality one. I tried using compound chocolate (chocolates containing vegetable oil) to compare, it was still good but the depth of the chocolate flavor won't be the same like those chocolates containing cocoa solids (i suggest at least 60-70%).

      @@RingshadowCat If you are going to follow the recipe, the exact way it is prepared and done, it will probably take about 1 hour (as per mentioned in the instructions of Mrs. Crocumbe).
      But from what i did, since i modified some equipment to steam bake the pudding, i did the "skewer test" instead. If you are doing the smaller batches (small ramekin size), check at the 20 minute mark then do the skewer test. If you do a bigger batch, expect to have it longer, probably at 50 to 60 minute mark.
