Original Recipe

Dyma bwdin berw glasurol, sydd wedi ei flasu gyda dyrniaid (neu fwy) o ffrwythau sychion (bethbynnag sydd i afel, gan gynnwys cnau). Yr oedd hwn yn cael ei fwyta’n fynych ar ôl cinio ym Mro Gŵyr yn ystod misoedd y gaeaf.

Cynhwysion:

165g o flawd plaen
60g o siwgr
60g o lard neu ymenyn
300ml o laeth cynnes
llond llwy de o sinsir
hanner llond llwy de o soda pobi
ffrwythau sych (yn ôl y dewis)

Dull:

Cymysgwch y defnyddiau sych mewn dysgl, toddwch y lard neu’r ymenyn yn y llaeth cynnes a’u harllwys ar y cymysgedd sych i’w wlychu’n drwyadl. Irwch ddesgil, trosglwyddwch y cymysgedd iddo a’i orchuddio â phapur ymenyn neu liain. Rhoi’r basn i sefyll mewn sosban gydag ychydig o ddŵr ynddi. Berwch y dŵr am ryw awr a hanner fel y bo’r pwdin yn cael ei goginio yn yr ager a fydd o’i gwmpas.

English Translation

This is a classic boiled pudding, flavoured with handfuls (or more) of dried fruit (whatever is to hand, including nuts).

This pudding was served, fairly regularly, as a second course for the mid-day meal during the winter months in the Gower area.

Ingredients:

165g (6 oz) plain flour
60g (2 oz) sugar
60g (2 oz) fat (butter or lard)
300ml (1 1/4 cups) hot milk
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking soda
dried fruit, (your choice)

Method:

Melt the fat in the hot milk and pour gradually into the dry ingredients.

Mix together well and put the mixture in a greased basin.

Cover with greaseproof paper or cloth, tie securely and stand the basin in a saucepan half full of water.

Boil for approximately one and a half hours.
