  • Fill each greased pan 1/2 full of batter.  Cover tops of pans with lids or 2 layers of aluminum foil.  In a large pot or roaster, place molds on trivets or a rack.  Add boiling rater 2/3 up the sides of the mold.  Bring water rapidly to a boil.  Reduce heat to Medium-Low, and cover pot or roaster.  Boil Gently for 4 to 4 1/2 hours, adding more boiling water when necessary or until fork comes out clean when put into the center of the pudding.
