Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the milk with the butter and maple sugar until it just simmers, without boiling.
  2. Add the raisins and let them plump for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl, then gradually whisk them into the milk to avoid lumps.
  4. Let it thicken gently for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring until you have a smooth cream.
  5. Pour the mixture into a clean cloth or floured cooking bag, tie it securely, then plunge it into a large pot of simmering water.
  6. Poach for 30 minutes over very low heat, making sure the water doesn't boil too hard.
  7. Remove the bag, let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it open and serve lukewarm slices drizzled with warm maple syrup.

Variations and tips

Apple version. Add 2 apples cut into cubes along with the raisins when cooking the milk.
