Instructions
- Peel the guavas, remove the seeds if there are many, then dice the flesh into small cubes.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, then rub the cold butter in with your fingertips until it looks like sand.
- Add the milk and lime zest, mix just until you have a soft dough, then fold in the guava cubes.
- Butter a pudding basin or mold, pour in the dough, and cover with baking paper and tightly sealed foil.
- Set it in a large pot of simmering water coming halfway up the mold and steam, covered, for 50 to 60 minutes, adding boiling water if needed.
- For the sauce, melt the brown sugar in the water, add the butter, then thicken with the cornstarch dissolved in cold water and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
- Unmold the duff while warm and pour the hot sauce over it.
Variations and tips
Banana version. Replace half the guavas with one very ripe banana, mashed.
