I want to thank you KeenKoon for coming to my rescue and posting this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly - they were well written and easy to follow. I have never made a carrott pudding before and made these as a gift - I can't award stars until I hear how they were enjoyed. Will post additional review & stars after Christmas
