Putenfleisch Pudding (Turkey Meat Pudding)

I prepared this simple comfort food for our younger son's lunch today.  The ingredients for the batter, which is similar to those of Yorkshire Pudding, is poured over the meat and baked in a hot oven for half an hour.  I am sure this dish will be a hit with the kids!

Ingredients (serves 2):

250 g turkey meat, to be cut into big cubes

125 g plain flour

1 medium-size egg, to be slightly beaten

200 g fresh milk

90 g water

salt & ground black pepper to taste

a little butter for greasing baking dish

a rectangular (22 cm x 16 cm) baking dish

Method:

In a bowl, add flour and salt.  Mix well and make a well in the centre.  Add beaten egg and a little milk at a time.  Whisk batter and make sure that there are no lumps are formed.  Then, add water and mix well.  Lastly, season with salt and pepper to taste. Leave batter aside to stand for about one hour.

Season meat cubes with salt and pepper to taste.  Arrange meat in greased baking dish.  Place dish in preheated fan oven at a temperature of 200° C for about 10 to 15 minutes or until meat changes colour.  Remove from oven and pour batter over meat. It is important that there is enough room for the batter to rise during baking.

Return baking dish to oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.  Do NOT open the oven door during baking or else your pudding will collapse. Once done, remove from oven.

Serve warm with any kind of vegetables and sauce (optional).  Today, I served this dish with steamed brussel sprouts and gravy (instant) as per our son's request.

Bon Appetit!
